...very caustic review of Allen's "Latin Primer," a work published over five years ago. This manual of elementary Latin composition has its sentences hauled over the coals one after another with a view to show their blunders, and the article is closed by "seriously asking the question, Whether this is the same Joseph H. Allen whose Latin grammar Harvard University recommends to its students, assuring them that it is sufficient for their preparation to enter on the advanced course of that institution." (The italics are copied from the "A. E. M.") Few could gather from such a question that...
ALTHOUGH the question of Harvard's withdrawing from the Rowing Association of American Colleges was presumably settled at the last general meeting of the H. U. B. C., yet as there is quite a large party in College who, not knowing their own strength, did not oppose the adoption of the resolution to remain in the Association, but who are extremely anxious to have the resolution rescinded, and who have come to doubt the numerical strength of their opponents, it seems but just that some statement of the reasons for their desire to withdraw should be made public...

Our many exchanges, who could scarcely be expected to take a very lively interest in so merely local a question, we would anticipate in the criticism of here affording further evidence of "Harvard's egotism and self-conceited superiority...
...face of these facts, this article is written for the purpose of setting forth another object which will demand pecuniary aid from the students, but which has one advantage over previous one namely, that the contributors have in the end something to show for their money. The object in question is the erection of a window in Memorial Hall by the class of '77. Now, as it is intended to ultimately adorn our banqueting-hall with memorial windows erected by the different classes, why should not the class of '77 be one of the foremost in undertaking this work...
