...that has befallen him is one for which we believe no one can be blamed, and the class can view it only as a matter of pure accident. We extend our sympathy to eighty-nine's captain for his injury and to the class for its real loss. We trust, however, that this misfortune will in no way dampen eighty-nine's enthusiasm in boating matters; and that whoever may succeed to the position of captain of the eighty-nine crew will work as conscientiously as his predecessor has done...
...carry with it only the weight of that authority. The writer of the editorial in question does "conscientiously" deny many of the "facts stated," and declares them to have been the offspring of an ignorant or a prejudiced mind.

With what pleasure should every Harvard student read this glaring account of his "slinging" his papa's money...
...aggressive "alumnus," as he calls himself, does not hold to the "mediocritas aurea" which he urges upon others, but adds that we not only dislike prayers, but "lie to get rid of them." We are glad that our internal condition has been so vividly portrayed to the public, and trust that the writer who has so kindly interested himself in the matter knew at least what he was writing; if he did not know that there is no basis whatever for the greater part of his terrifying declaration...
