...many, many years, so there must be something to it. Ever since 1895 to be exact, the fraternity houses have been completely deserted one cold March night, and everyone whose heart beats in the rhythm of "Wahoo" is a part of the congregation in Webster Hall, which, with a sort of religious exaltation, is celebrating the rites of Dartmouth Night...

For it is absurd to create town-gown enmity without some sort of return for the sacrifice. So far it has been all sacrifice for Harvard this winter, as Plan E lies in the graveyard and town animosity has reached an all time high. The spectacle is sad; but, if it serves as an example and warning to Dartmouth, Harvard's suffering has not been entirely in vain...
