...Along the edges of the grass plots where the grass has been rudely worn down, fresh sods have been placed. The flower beds have been laid in many instances close to the corners of the college buildings, along the routes which have been used by students as "short cuts" regardless of the fact that narrow foot-paths across the turf mean death to the young grass. The pernicious practice of crossing the college yard wherever it suits one's convenience cannot be censured too severely, and it is to be hoped that the care which will be taken...

They all appear to be gentlemen, and would doubtedless resent any imputation to the contrary; but on entering Memorial they cast aside all the conventional rules of society, and proceed to enjoy themselves in their own way, utterly regardless of the feelings of those in the immediate vicinity.

Rampant muckerdom, regardless of the rights of private individuals and corporations, reigns supreme during the pleasant spring all over the lands of Harvard. No portion of the college grounds is free from the obnoxious presence of the small rascals, whom the collegian has dubbed with the sobriquet, muckers. They invade the dignified yard to the very steps of the dormitories, play tag upon the steps of the gymnasium and swarm in crowds over the track and diamond of the athletic fields...
