...says that no man ever "drank to excess, in spite of his dislike to liquor, because it was the 'proper caper,'" he shows a surprising lack of knowledge of human nature. It is natural for a man to do what the man whom he admires does. Human nature is much the same in Harvard College as it is in the world at large, and the only reason why the Harvard Gosling does not drink to excess is because Swellington does not. It is due, not to any virtue of Gosling's, but to the fact that our popular men exert...
...college life, it was far from my intention to present an unfavorable picture of it; and it is hardly fair to say that my statements correspond with the exaggerations of the Herald.

Certainly, the management cannot be too highly praised for the effort it has made, and for the inducements it holds out to contestants this year; and now the ultimate success of the Association depends on the way in which men give their support by entering...
...while we would not make our Nine over-confident, we confess that we see no reason why they should not come off victorious. The practice which they have had during the week should reduce their liability of making fielding errors, and at the bat they ought to be much more successful than last Saturday. Besides this, the reappearance of Tyng and Ernst in their old positions is enough to make every man do his best, and to prevent any one from getting "rattled...
