...Chelsea Public thinks the IT H guilty of unpardonable impudence in not leaving the modern Pompeii, cap in hand, with obsequious thanks for the well-meant castigation inflicted upon it by the Public. It particularly resents a recent article in the Advocate which dared to question the Public's critical taste, and is somehow reminded of the story of "Elijah" and the Bears. In the Bible, as translated for Chelsea, the name of the bear-compeller may be that mentioned in the Public, but King James's version (used in all English-speaking countries) gives ELISHA as the prophet...
...have written this for two reasons: first, because legitimate advertising in the College will become worthless if business establishments are continually canvassed by irresponsible parties; second, what is of more importance, the honor of the College is certainly at stake if public opinion shall excuse swindling.

We will not be outdone by our Lancastrian friends; there will be public demonstrations here on the 22d, not only in M. U. and L. H., but in U. E. R., Holden, and U. 19 and 23. The Days thinks that no great holiday should be allowed to pass by without some effort to render the occasion memorable. Our beloved Faculty entertain the same opinion...
