...deed of this sort, does not long care to display his takent here at Harvard. He finds that his fellow-students do not appreciate fun of that kind. If he does continue, however, in these sorry exbibitions of his wit, it conveys a stigma upon the bublic sentiment of decency in his frieuds, and, in a less degree, in his class. We know that it is a human failing to encourage anything. however silly, that is done in defiance of anthority; but harvard men have hitherto been free from this failing in its extreme form. This last performance, however, equals...
...trust that they will not attempt to take any position from which they will be compelled to retire. If the Committee will state definitely what they intend to do, and will take a manly stand in the matter, we can assure them of the hearty support of the undergraduate sentiment in the college, and that they are doing their best to solve a very complex problem. If this sentiment meets the respect that it deserves, everything will be harmonious. While Pinafore rules and bib-and-tucker regulations are absurd in a university such as this, any changes that really will...
From all accounts that we hear of the so-called rush between '87 and '88, in the 'Port last Monday night. the affair, from a belligerent point of view, was a ridiculous failure.

The soloist was Mr. Sherwood, who played the great Schubert fantasia magnificently, overcoming the technical difficulties with apparent ease. His strength was scarcely equal to some of the heaviest passages with the orchestra, but the exquisite sentiment of the last part was beautifully brought out. The symphony which was heard here for the first time, has little in it of interest; it is unmelodious in its themes, and on the whole tedious. The andante was the most enjoyable movement. The work is written in the most advanced...
...heartily endorse the decision of the marshals of the sophomore and freshman classes to discontinue the customary rush after the procession. The general sentiment in college during the past ten years has been opposed to hazing or class rushes of every description. Indeed, the average Harvard student has affected to regard the annual cane rushes at other colleges as childish exhibitions. If we desire to be consistent in our views, whatever we derogate in others, cannot be encouraged among ourselves even at intervals of four years. Of course, there will be the usual objection of conservatives who never desert...
