...answer to the second objection is even more simple. It certainly would be of political significance. That is what a torchlight procession is for-to show political feeling and to influence as many as possible in favor of its candidates. That is the object of all public demonstration. That some of the students go for the "frolic" either having no choice between the parties, or subordinating their convictions to their desire for a "spree" does not alter the question. A political demonstration it is intended to be and as such it will be regarded...
...campaign. It would, therefore, seem very unjust to such persons, as well as an absolute deception practised on the public, for the remnant of the class to join in any procession to the honor of Cleveland as though it represented the junior class of Harvard College. We have no objection to seeing as many juniors as seem so inclined joining in the proposed procession, but we do decidedly object to having such persons take it upon themselves to stand for the junior class, as though the political feelings of the class were entirely hostile to Blaine, The utter absurdity...

What we want is a large demonstration which will reflect credit upon the college and which will compare favorably with that of four years ago. To many...
...Harvard quarters," especially built for them several years ago. There they were immediately taken in charge of by Churchill, the man who has catered for the Harvard crews ever since the eight-oared races at New London were inaugurated. With Saturday, the regular crew life began, the main object of existence for the men being, of course the work in their boat on the river. The crew are all reported as in the best of health except Mumford, who has a slight cold, contracted while in Cambridge, but not at all serious. Saturday two rows were taken, one of these...
