...EDITORS OF THE HERALD: Your editorial this morning about the freshman class is, perhaps, a very proper one, and if it came from an upper-class man, a very natural one, as well, since there is a strong tendency in men, when they have once passed the boundary, to forget that they ever were freshmen. The class of '85, it seems, is remarkable in more than one respect. Its scholarship is said to be above the average; its dignity appears to be likewise high, and its support of athletics is below the average. Doubtless the first trait is an estimable...
...three class upper-class crews which will contest next week are all seemingly well matched. The Senior crew has presumably a slight advantage over the others, and is composed of the following men: C. H. W. Foster (bow); Swan (2); Hemenway (3); Hammond (4); Otis (5); Howard (6); Freeland (7); Brandegee (stroke). All these men are identified with the rowing interests of their class, and four pulled in the University Crew last year. In weight they average nearly 170 lbs., and considering the short time that they have rowed together this autumn, they now pull in very good form...
...exemplar, he became a dig. He refused to countenance any such Freshman immoralities as beer and cigarettes; he would not even eat peanuts in Latin recitations.

"Not so," replied the Sagacious Brute. "I am an upper-class Animal, and if I accompanied You, my air would be so Awkward from shame at the company I was in, that you would be at once Recognized for the Ass that you are. Therefore, I pray you, put away Ambition." Thus saying, he left the Aspiring Innocent a Sadder...
...pleasing duty alone remains. Inquire the way to Mr. Sever's. It is a short distance, and almost any upper-class man will be glad to show you. Here you will subscribe to two copies of the Crimson: one must never leave you; the other you will send home regularly, for it will show mamma, and Sister Lou, and Cousin Sukey how nice and kind the College gentlemen are, and how well Master Jacky will be taken care...
