...understand that a certain freshman professor informed the class that "rushing" was the cause of Harvard's superiority over Yale in point of numbers. Now with all proper respect for this professor, we believe that there are certain other fully as potent reasons that are patent to the most casual observer. It has, we believe, been distinctly stated that the faculty positively could not allow larger classes to enter since they have not the accommodations either in rooms or instructors for them. It should be remembered, let us mention right here, that Harvard's classes always sound much larger...

If the overseers and the donor can agree upon a site the statue will probably be unveiled the latter part of this month...

The same arguments that would urge men to try for the Glee Club apply also in the case of the Pierian. To all students who are musically inclined both these societies offer unsurpassable advantages for profit and pleasure combined. Freshmen, we must repeat, should not be backward about presenting themselves in these trials. There is no member of '86, we feel sure, who, if fairly competent, would not profit by membership. Certainly the trial...
