...news that the Rev. Dr. Peabody has been stricken with total deafness casts a gloom upon the entire college. No one more than Dr. Peabody has been or is respected by Harvard graduates and undergraduates. Indeed, it is expressing Harvard feeling all too mildly when we say that Dr. Peabody is respected; rather is he reverenced and beloved: and a misfortune to him causes deep sorrow throughout the college. With all Harvard men, we hope that Dr. Peabody who has been so much to Harvard and Harvard students, may by the skilful advice of his physicians, be restored to health...
...beyond the student's reach. With the advent of warm weather we may expect to hear a few smothered imprecations over matters which, though to the freshman eye enormous evils, have become perfectly adapted to the Harvard condition of calm, admiring and independent indifference. It is needless to say that we refer, not to the pump, it is true, nor to that summer boarder, the mucker, who like the poor, is always with us, but to the "state of the yard." Coolness and audacity are necessary to approach this subject, but necessity is even more powerful than imprudence...
...judge that his opinions are shared by a large number of men in the class. One piece of descriptive writing is worth, to the student, half a dozen criticisms, no matter how well or carefully the latter may be written.

But, does anyone think that merely because a person is able to show faults in some one else, he is also able to write perfect English himself and avoid...
...learn that a certain sophomore has been engaging certain rooms in a certain dormitory for use next class-day. We say a "certain sophomore" and a "certain dormitory," although we are quite able to name them both. It is a matter of surprise that any holders of college rooms would consent to give their rooms up for class-day to any persons not members of the senior class, and it is a matter of surprise, that becomes indignation, that any man can have the chic to ask for rooms. We have supposed that all the men in college knew well...
Although the conduct of Harvard men in recitation rooms is proverbial for decorum, yet we regret to say that there are some little matters which ought to be of more concern to the students. Notably among the disturbances is the habit which some freshmen have of reading the morning papers in the lectures in English. A practice of this kind, insuiting as it is to the instructor, cannot be too strongly condemned. The applauding which is so frequently indulged in the Chemistry lectures has been spoken of before by the CRIMSON; but another reminder on the morning of the lecture...
