...sixteen; Charles Francis Adams, Jr., thirteen; and Henry Adams, eighteen. John Quincy Adams appears to have written nothing for the Review. The one who contributed the greatest number of articles was Edward Everett, who wrote no less than one hundred and sixteen. This number becomes more astonishing when we reflect that during Mr. Everett's first editorship, he was just entering on his duties as professor, and during his second he was a member of Congress. Notwithstanding these other duties, Mr. Everett once took lessons in Spanish for three weeks, in order to review Dean Funes' History of Paraguay...
...Crimson, as every one knows, besides giving the College news of the week, is intended to reflect undergraduate opinion on events which directly concern the students in general. We are perfectly well aware that, though they often make unpleasantly searching scrutiny into our conduct, the "powers that be" care little or nothing for our views in regard to any of their actions.

The transaction seems to reflect but little credit upon those principally concerned init...
These evils, I am glad to say, the Advocate intends to correct. May I, without presumption, urge you also to join heartily in the good work? The necessity for action is only too evident when we reflect that by following our base example, and letting the ignoble body attain the ascendency over the glorious mind, hundreds will be doomed to utter darkness. Your contemporary assures us that "at Harvard, the man of fashionable illiteracy and European dress has his idolatrous imitators." Shall we not rise at once, then, like one man, and put down these evil influences? I should suggest...
