...correspondent writes to the Boston Advertiser criticising the recent action of the board of overseers in passing a vote to revoke any degree within one week after commencement, if cause of complaint is found against the recipient for disorderly conduct. The letter cites abundant legal precedent, and shows the absurdity of the regulation, as being illegal and impossible of execution-a criticism that has occurred to all, we have no doubt, upon first reading the vote...
...hospitality, cordial and generous, that was offered to the students who went to Cambridge with the team, will be remembered by them most pleasantly. The action of the Harvard students who so energetically labored, amid slush and snow, for nearly two days, to prepare the ground for the game, is worthy of thanks from Princeton.

As Yale is the only exponent and champion of college "muckerism," and as every college in New England and the vicinity has had occasion...
...mucker" spirit. I refer to the advisability of giving up our annual Yale game of foot-ball. I believe that after the exhibition given us by Yale last Saturday, that every Harvard man who wishes to keep up the tone of college athletics, will approve of any action taken by the eleven or the corporation to prevent its repetition. The only method of doing this is the extreme one of refusing to play Yale hereafter. Now that the college faculty has taken such pains to eradicate all professionalism from college athletics, I think they should go further and endeavor...
