...desire to be popular. Frankness of expression is not compatible with a certain popularity. Nay, more, if you would be popular, you must not by your silence let it be suspected that you inwardly frown on most or much or even some of your neighbors' modes of thought and action. Silence, because men do not know how much you disapprove, is more feared than open censure, and in the uncertainty your disapproval is overestimated, and in proportion feared...
PROBABLY every one of us has received a violent blow in the face from those green doors at the entrance of University. Just as you are rushing in, some one coming out is sure to drive the door between your eyes, - the result of which action is to remind you of required Astronomy. Under ordinary circumstances one comes out under stronger incentive than one goes in, and this additional danger from those deadly doors is enough to discourage all attendance within the portals of University. The College might, at a trifling expense, put glass into the doors, and thus give...
...only morning whose slumberous stillness is unbroken by either first or second bell, and considering that all private clubs have late breakfasts on Sunday, it seems strange that the Board have not been sooner compelled, by complaints and discussions of the matter among the members, to take this action.

We are perfectly well aware that, though they often make unpleasantly searching scrutiny into our conduct, the "powers that be" care little or nothing for our views in regard to any of their actions. Howbeit, the decision made by the Committee on Proctorships has not given unalloyed satisfaction to the undergraduate world. This committee has appointed two fresh Seniors (from another college) to the important, passably lucrative, and quite honorable position of proctor, to the exclusion of men of abler scholarship and presumably closer...
...spirit of loftiness and condescension on Harvard's part. We trust, however, that no such feeling will arise. It is natural and right that Harvard should particularly wish to defeat Yale, and that she should make other things subservient to that wish. Any one who studies Harvard's action in this affair will see the existence of a real desire to row Columbia. Our challenge has certainly received careful attention; and the only question which prevents its immediate acceptance is a natural one of expedience. Columbia wants to row some college; and, for all reasons, Harvard is the most desirable...
