...Harvard students came very near having another excitement this week, in addition to the political excitements. A student in Chem. 1 put a warm plate and a towel in his desk together, and the towel caught fire. This was luckily discovered by the janitor just before he left the laboratory, or probably there would now be no chemical laboratory at Harvard...
...soothing to the nervous systems of the inhabitants of ground floor rooms. We all know what a nuisance the muckers are when a concert or anything else is going on in the yard, and how annoying they are when we wish to lie around under the trees in warm weather.

Now, every student knows that with a good hearty backing the nine will play a far better game than if they merely receive the luck-warm applause of comparatively a few men. Nothing is more inspiring to a team than vigorous cheering from their friends, and nothing will better show our appreciation of the nine's work...
