...seventh number of the Advocate appeared Monday and seems to maintain the standard set by the former numbers of the year. There is but a scanty lot of editorials, a fault which can be excused at a time when there is little going on to deserve a paragraph, but if the truths contained in these few editorials are taken to heart by the students, they may bear some fruit. The number opens with a short poem of four stanzas in which the author attempts to tell in verse a romantic incident which ends unhappily...
...This paragraph in the mayor's address has been the subject of a great deal of speculation to day.

...publish a paragraph from the Yale News with respect to the recent election of the members of the Phi Beta Kappa from Harvard. The spirit of the article in question proves the utter needlessness of any serious reply beyond a simple and direct denial of the statement. It is useless to attempt to argue with those who do not care to learn facts, and who add prejudice to ignorance. When pugilism is said to be the recommendation for membership in the Harvard chapter, the writer who spreads such silly gossip stamps himself as ignorant not only of the Phi Beta...
