Time has introduced modifications in some of these features, but, however changed, they still remain the only essential con-comitants of the parade. The custom of parading was started in 1868-the campaign of Grant and Seymour. The college, as in all subsequent processions, went with the Republicans. Unfortunately for the antiquarian, however, the record of this procession is very incomplete. The reporter for the college paper was seized with a mental prostration while marching, and was unable afterwards to give a good account either of himself or of the procession.

...present year is a novel one in the history of the University. There has probably never before been such an active interest taken in a political campaign by our students.

The appearance of the Harvard students in the presidential parade is looked upon as the feature of the campaign, in the way of a torchlight display. Whether, mugwump, stalwart, or third-party man, the Harvard student is at present preeminently a Harvard student and is when a representation from Harvard demanded every local or partisan prejudice should cease and the call be responded to unanimously by those who bear...
