...this tree that there might be something fresh and modern in the neighborhood to relieve the antique barrenness of their abode; or if Mr. G. Washington, the only and original father of his country, had, while his troops were encamped in the College buildings, been seized with a severe attack of his monomania, and had gone to whittling the tree or otherwise mutilating it with edged tools; or if the early College presidents had been in the habit of hanging their monthly wash upon its swaying branches, - then, and in any similar case of sacred historic association, not only would...
...depth in speaking of matters Shaksperian, it is guilty of a degree of arrogant vanity which we confess we did not anticipate. There is, indeed, little in the editorial article in question that needs refutation : the New Shakspere Society will not suffer very severely under so ill-considered an attack.

...late the Crimson seems to have furnished an object of attack to all the disputants of the University. Now we are perfectly willing to furnish occupation for these gentlemen, but we would like them to understand one thing which at present does not seem to be comprehended by them, - that is, that the Crimson board is not responsible for the sentiments expressed in the correspondence column. As long as a letter is decent, no matter whether the board concurs in the sentiments of the writer or not, it will be published. The editorials only are the expressions of the opinions...
