There is a good old Harvard custom of courtesy which is still honored by a few members of the university. A tradition impelling men who in any way speak for or are so situated as to represent the university in any way, to always act and speak in a courteous and gentlemanly manner, has long existed. It is not, we hope, about to die out. The last number of the Crimson plainly, but unwittingly, we hope, violates this tradition, and induges in an unseemly slur upon the reputation for gentleman-liness of the visitors from Yale to our recent 'Varsity...
...foul, unfair game deliberately and intentionally, we consider that we have just cause for complaint. But when the college which such a team represents upholds such conduct, and the college press has the audacity, not only to praise in vainglorious terms the conduct of its players, but also to speak of "defeating Harvard and Princeton at the same time in Harvard's own back-yard," thereby insinuating that the referee worked against Yale in favor of Harvard, when, as every body knows, it was for Princeton's advantage to have Yale win, it seems that insult has been added...

The lack of interest in this shown by the public makes it evident that few are aware of the presence in this place of a very valuable and beautiful work of art. We speak of the memorial window erected by members of the class of 1860, to the memory of their classmates who fell during the Rebellion, and executed by Mr. John Lafarge. The work must be considered one of the masterpieces of this artist, who has been foremost in the effort to restore...
...hand-bills and time-cards, setting forth the merits of the various roads, but their request for "cut" rates was politely but firmly refused. The reasons given for discrimination in favor of Yale, and against Harvard students, were perfectly satisfactory. New Haven is a way station, so to speak, and as the tickets issuing from there are not in great demand in the market, no one but bona fide students made use of the "cut" rates. But a ticket from Boston for any other city is always in demand, and the railroads found that some students were making a speculation...
