...particular advocate belongs. In former days the excitement over the acquirement of new members was very great at the beginning of a college year; and the abuses brought about by the zeal of injudicious members necessitated the negotiation of a treaty between the "Halls" to insure deliberation and care in the election of members. Both of the "Halls" are founded on principles of the most profound secrecy, and their large society buildings are only possible of entrance through a massive door secured by a combination lock. At the opening of every year it is a common thing...
...club side. There are other social relations beyond those of the societies which are well worth the student's time. Close societies will always foster cliques, and cliques cannot but deteriorate the general good-fellowship of a class. Every new member of the college while exercising the greatest care as to the class of students with which he purposes to associate, ought to remember that his society life is simply accessory to his regular college life, and that it should be made such.

...from a lack of funds to light it, has proved to be the most annoying of all our privileges, nor can we succeed even for a moment in driving the fact home, that it is absolutely useless to a large minority of the students and a cause of infinite care to the rest. We might cite a dozen cases as worthy of notice where a few dollars carefully expended would eradicate abuses which have for a generation distinguished Harvard. Notwithstanding this condition of affairs, no notice is taken of them, but all friends of education and civilization are invited...
...editorial referred to. Giving the arguments our correspondent has cited all the weight they contain, we would state firmly that our stand is still unshaken. Our position was well considered before it was taken, and we see, as yet, no cause for retracting a single statement we made. Care needs to be taken by our opponents, as to just what points we have maintained. We do not object to boxing. Indeed, if reports are true, a scientific knowledge of that art may be of benefit to our selves. We have simply claimed in regard to the principle of the petition...
