Because of the rumor that some of those who painted the Harvard statue last week were Ninety-eight men, a committee has been appointed from the Junior Class to investigate the affair; and, in spite of some minor objections to the proposition, we believe that most of those who have the best interests of the University at heart will be satisfied that this is the proper action to take. The fact that such things have been done several times within the past few years shows that some unusually strong measures must be taken in order to stop them for good...
...several individuals in disfiguring the pedestal of the statue of John Harvard is a type of outrage that should be punished so severely that there may be no fear of its occuring again for a long time to come. There is something peculiarly underhanded and despicable about the affair, in the utter disregard for the rights of others exhibited by its authors.

...last concert of the Freshman Musical Clubs to be given in Brattle Hall this evening, should be well attended, since the success of the affair means a good deal to the class crew. At present the clubs have just about paid their expenses for the year, so it has been arranged for the profits of tonight's concert to be given to the crew. As has already been explained the expenses of this year's freshman crew are unusually high. Every effort must be made, therefore, to finish the year free of debt; the freshman crew and nine will...
