Last year the Hasty Pudding Club took in boarders, invited the Institute of 1770 in as a paying guest, and with the proceeds of this happy alliance furnished up the Holyoke Street -club- house, painted the theatre, hung all the old posters in the wrong places, and found themselves with a lot of Sophomore talent.

In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong." The New York World has an even longer battle-cry, a rhetorical utterance by Joseph Pulitzer defining the whole duty of newspapers.
