...exasperating when at last I have succeeded in obtaining from the library a long-coveted book, and am hurrying to my room to indulge in the rich treat in store, to meet a real Socrates, who buttonholes me through the Yard, persisting in lecturing me on the Antwerp galleries, which he had visited last vacation, when the criticisms of a Ruskin or a Reynolds might have been enjoyed instead...
...last annual report I proved by figures that, while we welcome hither alike the sons of the rich and the sons of the poor, the college is mainly recruited from the independent, well-to-do class, who are neither very rich nor very poor. For a poor man with brains Harvard is, I believe, the cheapest college in the country, because of our large scholarship funds. For a poor student without brains it is not to be recommended.

That the singing is not as rich in harmony as it is in volume is a lamentable fact we are forced to admit; but we can hardly believe that the sensitive nerves of the College were badly shattered. There is little enough at Harvard to venerate, and that little should be carefully preserved. Such customs, though perhaps barbaric...
Athletic Association of American Colleges. - This meeting will be held at Mott Haven, New York, on May 18, and we suggest to the Harvard Association that, as it is now very rich, and we never have been properly represented at these sports, it take some decided steps in the matter. Let it hold a meeting on Holmes Field (where a very good fifth-mile track can be made) on May 15; let the winners of the mile-run, mile-walk, quarter-mile, half-mile, hurdles, and 100-yards be sent to Mott Haven on condition of their beating a certain...
