When we first saw or heard of the victories of last June, we were all glad, extravagantly glad; and we all manifested our extravagant gladness in excited ways. During the vacation we praised the nine and the crew, and told our lady friends how proud we were to belong to the college whence came such noble heroes. Now, however, that we have returned to college, and have come in contact again with these heroes, where they could see and appreciate our admiration and gratitude, and feel rewarded by it, we have forgotten all this gladness. We don't care...
...brace up, then, and come forward to take the crew and the nine by the hand, and thank them for all they have done for us; tell them we admire them, and are proud of them, and are watching them; and let us follow them right through the year with our cordial support and encouragement, and help these splendid representatives of ours to keep the championship they have won, right here with old Harvard, where it belongs...

We grieve at her misfortune, but we rejoice at her nobleness. It is with feelings of the deepest sadness that we bid farewell to this class...
...matter of honors the graduating class has done something she may well be proud of; for her record is the highest of any class during the last six years at least: we investigated no farther. Of course sound, deep scholarship cannot be measured; for there are very many men who really do hide their candle under a bushel; but in the long run, supposing the number of such men to be about equal in each succeeding year, an estimate of more or less value can be formed from mere outward success.
