...Philippians signing himself "Pilliparius" and evidently considering himself an accredited delegate to represent Harvard thought to the fellows at Andover. This eccentric individual has asserted various views as coming from Harvard against the tone of the Exonian and all Exeter besides. Naturally Exeter is up in arms at this attack and wants to know if that is the way in which Exeter is viewed by Harvard men. We would inform the students there that the presuming young man must be either some escaped lunatic if he has learned that Exeter is disliked here, or some vicious-minded youth...
...will attack "muckerism" at Yale just as severely as we do at Harvard, or whenever it comes in contact with us; and reconsideration's or retractions coming weeks after the trouble complained of, will be viewed through the vista which time accords, and consequently cannot have the weight of immediate denial. Glad as we should be to consider the position of the News tenable, we cannot do so, nor can we unite with it in considering the reported words of the Yale captain as "a petty matter." At Harvard such a thing would be called not petty but gigantic boorishness...
...between Harvard and Yale, but whose growth we now learn has been "blasted." It was bad enough to have the words and sentiments of Mr. Beecher misquoted in the daily papers, but when it comes to the CRIMSON and Advocate making this misrepresentation the basis of undignified and personal attack we can but take the stand in Mr. Beecher's defense.

...Senior Class dinner, Friday last. We would be glad to quote from this oration and to bring before those who were not able to be at that dinner the words of truth which were greeted by almost unanimous applause-there were a few present who took the attack on "snobbery" to themselves and appeared disgruntled that they should be handled so unmercifully-but that is impossible. We can say only that the burden of the speech was, "Restore Harvard to her rightful position in athletics by destroying the present vicious law of compensation." Dinners are times for joviality, and last...
...streets Sunday evenings. To appeal to no higher motive, this is one way, not perfect or complete, but certainly not visionary, of grappling with those tendencies in city life, which are a growing menace to the community. It is eminently fitting that Harvard should lead in such an attack; and for us as individuals, here is a chance to show by active work what Harvard does for her students. The committee on ushering and on getting the audience will have need, when the time comes, of every man who is willing to help. They will give early notice...
