...College. We have no desire to dictate to the daily newspapers of Boston, but we do claim the right - not as a paper, but as a convenient and true exponent of the opinions of the whole College - to inform them when they are trespassing on private property; and they must perceive, we think, that when we do so our opinion should be respected, because in such cases we have perfect grounds for decision, where they can have none at all; unless, indeed, their Editors should be graduates of Harvard, who would at once understand why we take the position...

We have a whole continent before us; why not take a lesson of the English and German students? Where is the Harvard exploring party, the Canoe Club, the American Alpine Club?
