...summons cards. Beautiful in fresh type, stiff cardboard, and correct heraldry they will form a welcome addition to the bric-a-brac of many an abode of study. Perhaps we ought to rest content with the state of excellence which the cards have now reached, yet we cannot refrain from the hope that eighty-nine may some day be summoned by a billet blazing in crimson and gold, and borne by a boy in buttons...
...while speaking of hospital facilities we cannot refrain from expressing our gratification at the singular good health of our students which has rendered the use of the unpretentious building on Holmes unnecessary. It cannot be denied that Cambridge, in the vicinity of the college at least, is a remarkably healthy place of residence.

No bonfire was forthcoming, however, and the tumult gradually subsided, until at 1.30, the hour of going to press...
...last come when the senior members of the board of editors must step down and out to make room for the under-classmen who are waiting to take their proper stations, each a round higher upon the ladder of promotion. But before retiring, the eighty-five men can not refrain from acknowledging the strong support with which the college has favored the paper during the year which they have been at the head of affairs, a year thus made the brightest and most prosperous in the history of daily journalism at Harvard. A continuance of this support in the future...
