...permitted to lead their verdant life in peace. But stranger indeed were the laws against freshmen in 1675: "No freshman shall wear his hat in the college yard unless it rains, hails or snows, provided he be on foot and have not both hands full" ; "No freshman shall speak to any member of the upper classes with his hat on, or have it on in an upper-classman's room, or in his own room when upper-classmen be there" ; "All freshmen shall be obliged to go on errands for upper classmen, but only out of study hours." Life must...
...night is brought up; and perhaps it is just as well not to let the matter be forgotten, but at the same time we must not be unreasonable in our demands and complaints. In the first place the danger from fire is great. Gore Hall itself-I do not speak of the wing containing the stack-is anything but fire-proof. It is, perhaps, not generally known, that those apparently substantial columns in the waiting-room are in reality hollow, and composed for the most part of laths and plaster. Secondly, financial considerations stand in the way; for the recent...
...they have many times responded to the pleadings of the students, but to several of our entreaties they turn a deaf ear.

Mass., yesterday. Ex-Captain Moffatt, of the Princetons and Hugh Oliphant, a graduate of the college, speak for their fellow graduates, and contend that Cowan is one of the fairest players who ever kicked a ball. He is undoubtedly the strongest man of the team, and his presence and playing always inspire the other players with vim and courage. When he was ordered to step aside...
...wish to speak a few words for the Harvard Monthly. A certain member of this University was heard to remark a few days ago, "Why don't we have a paper here as good as the Yale Lit?" Now, it was either that distance lended the speaker enchantment, or else he had never perused the Harvard Monthly with scholarly care, for if he had done so he would never have compared it unfavorably with the literary paper at Yale. There are many men here who might have made the same remark. Before they jump at conclusions, it might be wise...
