...usually respectable editorial columns of our old friend and contemporary. The Harvard Advocate, a policy has lately been developed which does not seem worthy of a Harvard publication. In entire disinterestedness we do not think it right for a paper which aims to represent, in some degree at least, the best undergraduate opinion as well as the best undergraduate literary ability at Harvard, to embark on a red-hot campaign of bitter personal invective against the President, no matter who he may be, of these United States. Whatever he has done or left undone, no American critic seriously doubts that...
...interview with the CRIMSON on Saturday Colonel Goetz stated that there would be no separate summer camp for field artillery units this year, and emphasized the fact that the requirements for attendance at the other camps have been cut down. "Judging by the number of men who seem to think that attendance at all three summer camps is compulsory," said Colonel Goetz, "no very clear idea can prevail as to the actual requirements.

The account of the War is in the Transcript's best manner, though it probably shows rather more historical knowledge than the Transcript...
There are some little known facts in connection with the history of clothing at the University. At first it would seem that the students dressed plainly and soberly, but in 1745 the Overseers found it necessary to prevent the wearing of gold or silver brocade and lace. From then on various sumptuary laws were proclaimed regulating to the minutest detail every man's apparel--Sometimes prescribing on what public occasions nightgowns should be worn, and sometimes forbidding them altogether, as in 1822: "A night-gown of cotton, or fabric, or silk fabric may be worn....except on the Sabbath...
