...when the freshmen departed-presumably for dinner. Such an exhibition of selfishness is indefensible. There is only one way to cope with it. And the next time those freshmen try the same plan, we earnestly hope their court may be taken from them. Men who abuse a privilege and think only of themselves are not fit objects of even common courtesy. The more they are humored the worse they become...
...defeat to the records. Yet, notwithstanding the intense rivalry, the jubilation that follows victory and the deep chagrin that follows defeat, the relations between Harvard and Yale continue always cordial.

Answers are still wanting from two hundred men. If they cannot take the trouble to reply...
...justification of the act. Paths have been made through the yard in every direction, and to tramp over the young grass and sod is a deliberate attempt to destroy the general good looks of the yard. For those men who have been seen treading down the new sod, we think that it is more the result of careless negligence than any delight they take in spoiling the grass. We trust a little more care in this respect will be shown in the future...
