...propos of the numerous benefits which the Yale and Cornell navies seem to be getting, it may be news to many students of the present day that Harvard once boasted as large, as fully manned and one may say a much more realistic navy than any of the establishments which now are in full swing among the two hundred colleges which are trying to teach the youthful mind how to shoot. Those Harvard students in the year 1776 who yearned after a nautical, or rather a piratical life and the salt of the ocean met together in that year...
...yard bring up the question as to whether the students are alone responsible. It has been maintained by many townsmen, and is the opinion of a large class of the men, that the faculty are directly responsible for much of the trouble. What is their attitude ? They say, "You shall not make a bonfire," and by a system of espionage, well calculated to arouse the opposition of the fellows, try to prevent any demonstrations.

...crowded streets and the brilliant lights must have pleased the nine as they drove along the street in the midst of the procession. Continuous cheers went up from men standing in the street until the barges drew up in front of Bartlett's. There the band played "Yale Men Say," and the crowd joined in singing the popular air. Soon a huge procession, consisting of almost all the men in college, and headed by the brass band, marched around the yard with the wildest enthusiasm. The parietal committee forbade the band to play in the yard and the crowd dispersed...
