...friendly combat between the religious editor of the paper and an anonymous correspondent in the Nation, who had taken the trouble to misrepresent, in religious matters, evidently as unintentionally as ignorantly, the university of which he claimed to be an "alumnus." But the evil work had been accomplished. Word had gone forth from our very doors that, religiously speaking, fair Harvard, to put it mildly, was rotten to the core. No words that might be uttered could avail. Jealous colleges, uttered the Pharasaical "Ah, ha!" Papers of which the past existence and actions had been anything but religious, caught...
...word of advice to the willing to learn is always a pleasant task. And it becomes additionally so when the advice is of a pleasant nature. We wish to call the attention of the freshmen to the society relations of the university. The prurience which some men exhibit in seeking social honors is simply ludicious, while others are just as backward and slow to make acquaintances.

The Advocate is the truest literary production of college journalism in our exchange basket. A little heavy for a b1-weekly, perhaps, but when it is considered that Harvard is apparently without a literary monthly, this is a fault in the right direction. All departments are good, but the poetical...
...destroys; what does not suit its degraded taste it very soon tones down to that taste by its own peculiar processes. And so property is stolen, doors are marred and smeared hallways are - to put it mildly - littered, lights are turned out, et cetera, et cetera. In a word, this "objectionable element" is trying to place the red flannel banner of its famous legions, which has waved so triumphantly over the college grounds, on every dormitory in the yard. A crusade against these transgressors cannot be undertaken too promptly or too zealously...
