...follows: "Of course it was to be expected that the dignified seniors would be photographed in sober silence, but when the freshmen's turn came the vast difference between Harvard and other colleges was immediately apparent, a difference which Harvard considers greatly to its credit, but which would be unheard of elsewhere. The freshmen sat quietly in their places and had their photographs taken as if it was a matter of course. There was not a sophomore to be seen, no reflected light was cast on the group to spoil the picture, and the whole ordeal passed off only less...
...matches if not more practice? We do not see why this could not be arranged without much interference with the base-ball men, who are really the only ones who use the upper part of Holmes field. We can well understand any outcry which may be raised against this unheard-of suggestion, but "fair play" ought to be one of Harvard's mottoes, and we are sure the cricket eleven will repay whatever small amout of care and attention it may please the mighty lords of the athletic association to bestow upon that very deserving but much-abused factor...
...made a mistake, and a bad one too. Luckily we have discovered it in time to enlighten the ignorance which caused it, and by following our advice, all evil consequences may be avoided.

...Greek and mathematics almost exclusively, with the addition of mental and moral philosophy and logic, and possibly a course of Christian evidences. History was little taught, except indirectly, the modern languages and the physical sciences were almost ignored, while subjects like political economy, comparative politics and sociology were almost unheard of by the undergraduate. Now Harvard swings to the opposite extreme, and changes all this; not only so, but there is prospect that the future Harvard graduate will know something of the use and abuse of his mother tongue. We have so long worshipped Greek and Roman statues in this...
...suppose, however, that music had been unheard at Harvard before that date. The Pierian Sodality and the Glee Club, as is well known, had furnished delectation for years to many successive classes of undergraduates; indeed, in the "Exhibitions" which used to be held under college authority twice a year, the Pierian is always down upon the programme as supplying the music; and the singing of the Glee Club on the green at Class Day is renowned. Professor Paine himself had conducted the chapel choir since 1862; and for a number of years prior to 1870 the catalogue had a meagre...
