...rule, like to find fault with our sister papers, but we cannot let the last freak of the Lampoon go unnoticed. That publication has declared its intention of caricaturing members of the University whenever a fitting opportunity presents itself. Now that kind of thing was tried when the Lampoon was first started, and the consequences were disastrous. College opinion objected, and with justice, to this degraded form of wit; and we beg to warn the Lampoon that it is more than probable that college opinion will object again. There is plenty of wit and versatility in a big university like...

The class games are always an interesting and exciting event in the spring term, and there is no reason why this year they should prove any exception to the rule. The senior class nine is a good one, and always has been a good one, and it behooves the members of the other nines to get together as quickly as possible for practice, if they wish to outdo Eighty-eight in the contest for the class championship. The freshmen especially are advised...
...prize and won it. When Prof. Torrey opened the envelope containing the writer's name, and discovered that the lucky winner was a lady, and not a member of the University, he was naturally forced to withhold the first prize of one hundred dollars, in compliance with the rule that the prize could not be awarded to any one outside of Harvard University. The young lady was, however, awarded the maximum prize of the Annex-thirty dollars-in consideration of the excellence of her essay. For the daily press to set up a how at this, and declare that...
