...namely, Athletics. The question is frequently asked, "Why do the English university men excel the American students in everything relating to Athletics?" And quite as often the answer is given, "Because they are a hardier race and live in a better climate." This reply is true to a certain extent; they are a hardier race beyond a doubt; but, on the other hand, no Englishman would think of sitting down in a room full of smoke and lounging away the whole afternoon, simply because a little drizzling rain happens to be falling. Their climate is not subject to extremes...
OWING to the large size of the classes in college, and the extreme narrowness of the means of ingress, a rush takes place every morning at the Chapel door. Now a rush is certain to please most of the members of the youngest class, and many of the members of the class next in point of age; but a rush is distasteful to the majority of the students, and is especially so if it involves a possibility of not getting into one's seat in time. The remedy is very simple, and, consisting as it does in merely unlocking...
...chiefly supported by Harvard men, never entered their heads. It has turned out, however, that many undergraduates have hastily concluded that, because the Lampoon was endeavoring to attract attention outside of the college, it intended henceforth to neglect the college altogether; and the paper has consequently suffered from a certain degree of unpopularity.

When a heedless crowd try to revive a custom that college men have frowned upon for the last four years, and so far forget the sentiment of the College to-day, as to "bulldoze" lower classmen, it is time to recall them to their senses. The gentlemen, no matter what society they belong to, who have the high-toned feeling and the pluck to stop any attempts at hazing deserve the thanks and the respect of the whole College...
...Warren's photographic efforts is decidedly one of disappointment. Perhaps it is safe to say that much was not expected; for the selection of the committee was at the very best but a leap in the dark, and nobody had any expectation of landing on terra firma. Certain it is that if by terra firma is meant good faithful work, the result shows a wide gap between land and water. For ourselves, we saw at the time no reason why Mr. Notman should be cast aside and the self-styled (Cambridgeport) "Celebrity Photographer" should be employed in a work which...
