...Lexington, to which I propose to make a pilgrimage on the coming 19th of April. While I was thus sighing for new worlds to conquer, I suddenly discovered a new continent of untried possibilities in the editorial columns of a last year's Magenta. I resolved never again to omit the reading of that invaluable paper. What I had discovered was no less than a new and practical idea on the subject of walking. I perceived that Middlesex County was a historic locality, that the philosophical walker should view it in this new light, and that the interest...
...order to keep this wonderful servant of the human will in perfect working condition. At home the majority of us learn only general maxims in this regard, such as, "Don't get in a perspiration and then stand in a draught," or "When you don't feel quite well omit a meal and give Nature a chance to recover"; but of the circulation of the blood, of the effects of different kinds of food on the system, of the working of the glands, of the relation of the various parts of the body, we know almost nothing.

Let us have contributions that shall represent the spirit and tone of the College, and in truly representing Harvard we shall best serve the Magenta...
...desires to lose one of the most graceful bits of modern English writing, he will do well to omit to read "A Rose in June," now appearing in the Every Saturday, and copied from the Cornhill Magazine. In the number of June 6 appears an ably written criticism, or rather eulogy, on the father of the English novel, Henry Fielding. It contains a much-needed reproof of the hypocritical morality of the present day, which prevents one of the purest and most truthful of authors from being read...
