...consider it our duty to take some notice of the fact that yesterday was according to all historical accounts the anniversary of the birthday of George Washington. In the absence of the fire-escape exhibition of last year the college found itself somewhat at a loss how suitably to celebrate this occasion with becoming ceremonies. With the noble simplicity characteristic of an intensely democratic community all the pomp and show which might mark such an occasion in any of the effete despotisms of a foreign civilization, was yesterday heroically dispensed with at Harvard. With tense brows and studious, downcast look...
...operative Society desires to extend its usefulness by inveigling into the meshes the inoffending Annex. The Annex with coy blushes is somewhat diffident about accepting the offer of the society.

This would seem to indicate that Phillips Andover is rapidly deserting Yale with its somewhat antiquatedor, at least, inflexible-curriculum, for the broader opportunities for study offered by Harvard. Whether or no the change is a permanent one the future will decide. The cause, though, is not so hard to determine. So far as we have been able to judge, the underlying motive which influences...
