...Glee Club and the Pierian was most unsatisfactory and we trust that this year such may not be the case. Both these societics, as representing the musical talent of Harvard, deserve the warm support of the college, and that they have not received it is a matter of reproach. The open air concerts in the spring are among the pleasantest features in the college year, and every one attends them as a matter of course. Why then, when an opportunity is given, should not every man do his share toward supporting the clubs by attending these concerts in Sanders...
...denounce in scathing terms this performance in particular, and the theatre in general. The Transcript thereupon expresses its surprise that such a proceeding could ever occur in a "University City."

Many - if not most - of the best and noblest men of old England, during the past sixty or seventy years, were good at the oar, at foot-ball, at cricket; but they did not allow those games to encroach on their more serious...
...note that the custom of hazing is rapidly losing its hold here. The course of the present sophomore class has generally been very commendable in respect to that, and should '86 in turn frown upon that time-honored, though barbarous custom, Yale would forever afterwards be relieved from every reproach from that source...
