...Freshman Advisers." The bitter opening caricature of the freshmen is rather uncalled for when it is considered that the greater part of the condemnation of this plan of advisers for the freshmen has come from upperclassmen; and if we mistake not, the Advocate has contributed its quota of editorial sarcasm to the "guardian angels" of the freshmen. Aside from this the article is one of the most sensible which has appeared in the Advocate for some time. No one who has seriously considered the matter can doubt that the system of advisers for the freshmen will result in much good...
...Song of the Sea Shell-a mournful but pretty little song. "A Virgin Priestess," by Mr. Batchelder, is an original but rather startling Druid sketch. "A Parable" is very brightly written. We hope the Blue Hound and the Small Young Ass will appreciate its humor as well as its sarcasm.

The hard and conscientious training of all the eights entitle them all to the victory. But it will be muscle and skill that will turn the scale to-day. Seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen all have our good wishes...
...then taken up and cheered on by the triumphant strains of "Yale Men Say," and "Marching Through Georgia," the freshman made the walls of the old dormitories echo and re-echo with the sound of their prolonged "rah's." Transparencies bearing the names of the freshman nine and trenchant sarcasm upon Yale, the CRIMSON and others who expected to hear of defeat at the hands of the 'Blue' freshmen were displayed. After the yard had been traversed and re-traversed, the transparencies and the nine took up their position upon the steps of University, where cheers for Harvard, the individual...
