...CRIMSON views with alarm and points the finger of suspicion at the University's growing iniquities. Young men of strong character and earnest purpose, stamped indelibly with the seal of Harvard, have, in their manly way, protested against certain all-too-prevalent evils, in the columns of the CRIMSON during the past few days. Where are the good old ideals of the Puritanic days? What would John Harvard say to all this...

These are only a few sentences from Mr. Stearns's first installment, but they indicate its tenor. He boasts of having been helped to his room in Weld by the Yard cop three times to his memory, leaving us to guess how many times he did not remember it, while...
