...three or four possessors of fish horns and boyish lovers of noise in general, and cannon crackers in particular, should be allowed to turn Harvard square into pandemonium, is a disgrace to the Cambridge police. It is the duty of the CRIMSON as the representative of the best college sentiment, to sit down on those young gentlemen who seize every opportunity to make nuisances of themselves...
