...students. The instructors for their part, have kindly volunteered to see and talk with any of the men and give them the benefit of their experience and advice, while some few have, in one or two brief sentences, described to their division the various electives under their particular branch of learning, and showed the purpose and advantage of courses which a careless man might overlook or throw aside as too hard and abstract. The faculty, on the other hand, have gone to the expense and trouble of having descriptive pamphlets printed. These short descriptions may be obtained on application...
...because we are bigoted on the subject of professionalism, but we confess that we are unable to see what possible right a nine, composed partially of professional players, has to play for a college championship any more than a league nine, under the name of some particular college, would have.

...until 11 the disturbance was in no sense a general demonstration by the college; twenty-five men could be named who made ninety-nine per cent, of the noise. That three or four possessors of fish horns and boyish lovers of noise in general, and cannon crackers in particular, should be allowed to turn Harvard square into pandemonium, is a disgrace to the Cambridge police. It is the duty of the CRIMSON as the representative of the best college sentiment, to sit down on those young gentlemen who seize every opportunity to make nuisances of themselves...
