...cases even less, after which time spent in the new pursuit, he puts on his slippers, stretches himself on his window-seat, lights a cigarette, and cares no more for Telegraphy, Chess, the French Club, the Club Races, or the Athletic Sports. All of which goes to show the utter worthlessness of the present average candidate for A. B. At least, so many persons would have us think...
...view of this, many of the students have lately expressed a wish that the marks awarded at the semiannual examinations could be made public a little earlier than they are. The utter ignorance of their position, in which many men find themselves, is very dispiriting. That our instructors are hard worked nobody pretends to doubt; and that as a rule they return the examination-books at the earliest moment compatible with their convenience is generally admitted.

It is convinced that the "sister colleges" will...
...correct. May I, without presumption, urge you also to join heartily in the good work? The necessity for action is only too evident when we reflect that by following our base example, and letting the ignoble body attain the ascendency over the glorious mind, hundreds will be doomed to utter darkness. Your contemporary assures us that "at Harvard, the man of fashionable illiteracy and European dress has his idolatrous imitators." Shall we not rise at once, then, like one man, and put down these evil influences? I should suggest that the first steps to be taken would be to assemble...
