Tempora mutantur. No man rejoiced more at the abolition of hazing than myself, for it seemed a brutal and senseless custom. But that I, a member of the class of '75, which instituted this reform, should suffer this humiliation at the hands of the haughty class of '77, - that I, who solemnly promised with the rest to abstain from hazing, should myself be roughed, - is indeed a galling thought! Perhaps, then, the Sophomore theory that "the conceit must be taken out of Freshmen" was not so absurd a one after all. Who knows but that the propensity to haze...
...papers, and we congratulate it on the success of its new management. An article on the Yale Club, an institution corresponding to our Thayer Club, has the following: "This institution is now run on the hotel plan, and quite a varied bill of fare is furnished every day. Circumstances seem to favor the adoption of the restaurant plan, and that would doubtless be very convenient for most students, and a good thing for the club." We quote the above to encourage any movement tending to the adoption of a restaurant-boarding system at Harvard. If, as we hear, there...
This class is the largest that has ever entered Harvard; it by no means lacks good material for a crew, yet it seems in great danger of doing worse even than the last Freshman Class.

...these first cold days, when the falling snow covers grass and trees, and the dark clouds seem to threaten a long storm, it is quite amusing to notice the different remarks with which men greet this earnest of winter. Some say, "A little more of this will give us very fair sleighing;" others, "How pretty it makes the Yard look!" but most declare with a sigh, "Now for wet feet and cold rooms and frozen ears." When we think of the number of this last class, it really seems worth while to consider whether winter could not be made...
