...freshman-sophomoric rejoicings are now happily past. All honor to this true Harvard spirit so manfully expressed one Monday evening which led an admiring by-stander to inquire with interest, "Are those the Harvard students?" We ask pardon if, in our Monday's issue, the unanimous sentiment of the CRIMSON there expressed, was displeasing to anyone, especially to those hospitable freshmen and those quiet and complaisant sophomores and upperclassmen who so thoroughly appreciate the best means of preserving the honor and advancing the real interests of the university, against which the CRIMSON has so treasonably spoken...

Further more, the odors coming from the naptha...
...hortatory, we have a setting, mercifully a narrow one, of verses expressing the mystic yearnings and sorrows to which the tragic undergraduate heart is prone, about a profusion of gems of the triolet and rondeau order, in fact every sort of "bright conceit in meter," if the Record will pardon our plagiarism. Whether all this is real progress or only growing frivolity is out of our line of enquiry. It is an interesting fact that in many respects our southern exchanges are in the earlier stages just mentioned. Here is the last issue of one of them whose contents...
