...classes should exhibit such a mockery of a class meeting. While it is expected that the first meeting of the freshmen will be devoid of all sobriety, succeeding assemblies are supposed to allow an opportunity of exhibiting the herent respectabilities of the members. But the disgraceful scene enacted at the last meeting of the class of '88 deserves the severest censure of the college at large. Such a season of uproar as was witnessed in Boylston Hall last evening, can only be accounted for on the supposition that the presiding officers of the class are incapable, or that the members...
...present sombre gray ones, which they have worn in past years, when waiting their turn at the bat, and at other times when engaged in the most active exercises. The new uniforms, if adopted, will be particularly rich in appearance and will lend more color to the scene on Holmes and please the eye of the fine arts professors.

An officer of the college took upon himself a police duty, which not only derogated from his dignity, but placed him for over an hour in a very awkward position. More than this, the matter which he undertook to control was only...
...Monday night much the same scene was repeated,-a troublesome and provoking interference was shown, the band was not allowed to enter the yard, the students were ordered about like schoolboys, and a threatening and ill timed speech was made by one of the younger instructors. A feeling of resistance, a desire to smash something was the natural and inevitable result, and I can but think it fortunate that so little trouble came of it. I believe that on such occasions, happening so rarely as they do, very great liberty can be safely given to the students. Certainly, such features...
