...learning which are subject to this plague could find some remedy which would free them forever from it. Not only are they continually in the way and making themselves obnoxious, but, by their lack of manners, as shown in their treatment of visiting ball clubs and other organizations, they often bring discredit upon the body of students...
...large a delegation as possible. Yale enthusiasm is almost too trite a subject to write upon. Whenever the Yale freshmen come to Boston or Cambridge, they are invariably accompanied by a large and enthusiastic crowd of supporters, who contribute in a large degree to the success which has so often attended them.

The boatswain often summoned the crew of the "Harvard" by sounding his shrill whistle in front of Holworthy, then, as now, the senior's headquarters. Latterly the eligibility for "service" was much less strict and they even went so far as to admit men who had received commencement parts, but the true navy always consisted...
