...case of our own bell. If we may be pardoned for interference in a matter which, strictly speaking, is none of our business, we would suggest that a proctor be delegated to sit up nights with the bell, and see that it does not throw of its bed clothes. Nay, further, we would be pleased to start a subscription paper for providing the ancient annunciator on Harvard Hall with hot "Toms and Jerrys," and other comforting liquids, during the continuance of the present cold snap. We trust that the college will chime in with our sentiments, since we are trying...
...latter have claimed again and again that the elective system tended, not to give a man a smattering knowledge of many subjects, but to make him one-sided by leading them into specialties. The causes for the change from the old to the new, have been fears, nay even realizations, of shallowness, of knowledge gained from the many prescribed elementary courses.

Success to the Literary Magazine, but only on condition that it succeeds honorably, and not through contemptibleness and cowardice...
...more disorderly manifestations, is yet one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful agent, in forming and strengthening athletic interests at Yale. In class feelings, class distinctions, class rivalries, lies, we believe, the true source of our success. If we introduce the elective system, class lines, nay, we may say, the classes themselves must soon disappear. If we destroy class lines we destroy class feeling, if we destroy class feeling we destroy class athletics, and these are the chief support of the university athletic interests...
