This form of reasoning is pardonable under the enthusiasm generated by a crowded political meeting and a brass band. But it is worse than bad taste for either party to claim Harvard as a protecting Deity in a quarrel which no sane man a week from election day would regard as having the same moral weight as the Rebellion. How the honorable Democrats found out so conclusively that old Harvard men from 1636 to the present era would have voted for Cleveland and Tariff Reform can be referred to the same source that inspired the assertions of Friday night...
...lecture given last night at 61 Mt. Vernon street, Boston, by Mr. Richard Hodgson, consisted mainly of extracts from unpublished accounts of apparitions drawn from English sources. The visual phantasms of sane persons are divided into two classes-those of the living and those of the dead. Under the head of phantasms of the living are included visions of dying people. It has been supposed that all such visions can be accounted for by the theory that the spirit of the living person leaves its body and appears to others at a distance. This theory is difficult of belief, because...

Not a cent has been spent on the pleasure of the men, and the statement that the nine is to view the races at the expense of the class is new to me, and certainly no sane person would accredit so ridiculous an idea. I have encountered none of the "bitter feeling" which "'90" states as existing and I doubt if any such exists. The statement that the crew are in need of money is rather stretched, as I know for a fact that the class...
...Sargent's system of exercise and examination spread by the hands of competent and well educated physical trainers thoughout the whole country. This summer course affords a most thorough discipline and preparation for the peculiar work in which its members are to engage. An age of sane ideas about bodily exercise, outside sports and proper care for health seems at length dawning near. And we cannot repress a feeling of pride that at Harvard are found the seeds of this reform...
...such debating societies, which shall keep the students directly informed about the public business of the nation, is a very hopeful sign. The old societies used to discuss everything under the sun, except politics and religion, which were tabooed subjects. But now we have come over to the more sane idea that if we are ever to influence politics, we must learn as soon as possible to study political questions. There is no better way to make our politicians scholars, than to make our scholars into politicians; if the country needs more college-bred men in politics, she can best...
