...have reason to believe it needed - what has already been said in both Magenta and Advocate, in regard to the unwarrantable publication of private affairs of the College. We have no desire to dictate to the daily newspapers of Boston, but we do claim the right - not as a paper, but as a convenient and true exponent of the opinions of the whole College - to inform them when they are trespassing on private property; and they must perceive, we think, that when we do so our opinion should be respected, because in such cases we have perfect grounds for decision...
Fine writing, we are confident, is not the desideratum in a college paper of the present time. Our numerous predecessors aspired to long and highly literary articles, and failed; their wrecks, scattered along the course of college journalism here, serve to warn college papers of the present day not to follow their course, if they would prosper. That this ought not to be the case is clear from one point of view. A college paper ought to present to the world a specimen of the best intellectual productions of the undergraduates. But the best men in college will not write...

For the man, as we happen to know, who has lately taken upon himself the charge of reporting private matters of the college in a daily paper is also the one who attempted to palm off upon the Magenta, as his own production, a poem which appeared first in Punch and afterwards in certain papers in this country. Reference to this Freshman, who is so apt at "dashing off other people's productions," will be found...
FROM the Courant we learn that the question of hazing is attracting much attention just now at Yale, and should judge that both those who are in favor of continuing the old custom and its opponents have very strong feelings upon the subject. A writer in the same paper suggests that "Bones men" refrain from wearing their pins in public, in order to do away with the hard feelings in the Senior Class "which are due to the relations of Bones men and Neutrals." As Harvard men, we approve of such advice, not as applied to the Skull and Bones...
