To say nothing of this abuse of a privilege, which, in itself, is an insult to the members of the Confernnce Francaise, such a transaction can be called nothing else than dishonest. That a man who calls himself a gentleman should stoop to such low means of adding a few dollars to his purse, is inconceivable. We would warn the students against such...

Such a state of affairs is greatly to be deplored and needs but to be brought clearly before the minds of Harvard students in order that its recurrence may be prevented. It will be urged, no doubt, that our nine receives the same treatment, and that every other nine is in the same position, when defeated on a field away from home. But is this any argument why this nuisance should not be done away with...
