...better than they are, because, of all vices, that which flourishes least in the atmosphere of Harvard is hypocrisy; of all habits the most detested is cant." The article contains several random daily themes, which show the frank attitude of the student toward the instructor. Written by one who has obtained such a thorough insight into the real life at Harvard as Mr. Wendall, the article is a welcome defence of the college from the malicions attacks of superficial observers...

The proposed dinner is a rational outcome of the tendency towards co-operation, and of the decroase in the spirit...
...Lawrence Hall. A large number of the members attended and the result was a very pleasant evening. The committee which had charge of the social had arranged a musical and literary programme in which Messrs. Rice, Smith, Hayes and Dodge took part. The whole programme was a thoroughly enjoyable one, Mr. Smith's bass solo being especially pleasing. Light refreshments were served at the close of this programme, and the remainder of the evening was spent by the members, in conversation...
