...overlooked. All like gifts, aiming at special and advanced study, are always valuable to a University. If but few in number, they tend perhaps to be an aggravation; but if many, they cannot fail to create an incentive for higher study and indirectly to raise the entire intellectual tone of the college or university possessing them...
...cowardly and too often unwilling to raise its voice where deeper matters are concerned. This passivity of public opinion here is the great obstacle to investing our students with power, and one of the most damaging things to the college in the eyes of the outer world. But any tone can be changed by the cumulative energy of individuals working in the same direction for a series of years; and if, every year, twenty men with position, resolution and tact, would make it their business to resent offenses against the tone of the college in character and conduct, we should...
...cannot expect the personal excellencies of professionals, Mr. Jones as Brutus lacked many of the essential attributes of that character, but as Antony, he showed a good conception of his part, and a ready and well marked adaptation of action and speech to his ideal.

The scene between Brutus and Portia afforded some opportunity for delicacy of treatment...
...another column will be found a communication relative to the recent editorial comments made by the Lampoon upon the Advocate. While not in sympathy with the extreme view of the case taken by our correspondent, we feel compelled to express surprise at the tone of the Lampoon editorials. It has so long been the custom in Harvard journalism to exercise for bearance and courtesy toward contemporary journals that any violation of the established precedent is all the more noticeable. We sincerely hope that the editorial tone of the Harvard press is not to be allowed to reach the undesirable level...
