...accomplishment. The question has been discussed time and again here at Harvard. At regular intervals the college press presents its time-worn article upon the subject, each time without the least effect. In view of the repeated failures to bring about any results, it seems hardly worth while to refer to the subject again. But at the risk of growing monotonous, we again wish to call the attention of the college and of its friends to the subject of a swimming-bath. We will not dilate on its advantages. They speak for themselves. However, while the college is so occupied...
...from our college journals. Of college dailies it is unnecessary to speak. Their endeavor is to occupy a place in the college world very similar to that occupied by the general newspaper in the outside world. The best example of the college journal of the class to which we refer is our own Lampoon. Probably no college paper is so well known and so widely quoted. It is universally acknowledged the best of its kind, and other colleges have tried time and again to produce publications on exactly the same model. The natural supposition would be that a paper...
...think the officers of the H. A. A. for the coming year would do well to consider the plan suggested by President Lowell, in his address read at the last meeting of the association.

A favorite trick seems to be to refer the unsuspecting young man who has just taken out his papers in that classic university to the house of some professor for a boarding place. The amiable sophomore also has the habit of making friends with his freshman victim and offering to initiate him into the mysteries of the university...
...seem to stay with us in the most single-hearted fashion, who have made Harvard their permanent camping ground. Their numbers and influence increase year by year; they are a bane and a nuisance, and should be stamped out from the face of the globe. We refer to those wretched beings called "croakers." We are all familiar with and heartily sick of the man who said last fall that we were sure to be beaten by Princeton; who said this spring that we had no chance for the Mott Haven cup; that the freshman nine was doomed; that Columbia would...
