...surprised that the Monthly should open its columns to the publication of so partisan an article as Mr. Garrison's "Why I am not a Republican." Whether we agree with him or not in his violent outcry against the Republican party, we must deplore the admission of party politics into college journalism.

It is safe to say that the Harvard delegation enjoyed themselves thoroughly, the only drawback being the long delay at the beginning of the parade. At 7.15 the Harvard battalion began to form on the Charles St. Wall of the Common, the seniors at the Bacon street gate, the other classes extending in order toward Boylston St. The company from the Medical School formed behind the freshmen. At 7.45, the column moved along Beacon and Arlington streets, to its position...
