...ANOTHER case of hazing, this time at the Michigan University, has resulted in the suspension of thirty-nine Freshmen and forty-two Sophomores, these students having proclaimed themselves in favor of "the time-honored college custom of hazing," and having requested to share the penalty of six men detected in the practice. So far from the scene of action as we are, it is difficult to decide the rights of the case; but, after noticing the bad logic in the cards which contain the defiance of the undergraduates, and the dignified reply of the Faculty to that defiance, we cannot...
...favorite elective, or on literature at large. The lamentable ignorance of a Freshman, - quite a high scholar in general reading, by the way - is cited, who readily believed that "the great Warren Hastings impeachment was going on in New York, with Edmund Burke and Wendell Phillips engaged in the case." Whatever charms vacation may have for the ideal Harvard shirk, few would grudge a moderate amount of work in the cool days of September, to be free from two weekly hours of recitation, and those dreary night hours before an inevitable examination.

...secure perfect justice to all. The injustice lies in this: A man who wants certain rooms, and who is blessed with a great many acquaintances not living in the college buildings, gets all of these men to make application for the rooms he wishes to have; and, in case one of his friends is fortunate enough to get them, he, of course, has them immediately transferred to himself. Thus the man, who has application made for him in this way, though he may already have a very fair room, has many chances over a man who, unblessed with numerous friends...
...exception, does not offer the slightest ground for complaint. This one fault, it seems to me, could be remedied by a very simple provision. It is generally acknowledged that the men are truthful, however much they may be wanting in other virtues, and, if this is really the case, the virtue might be utilized in this way: on each form used in the application for rooms, a line or two might be printed to the effect that the applicant desired, for his own occupation, the rooms named on the list. Each man should be required to sign this certificate...
