...thirty or forty classmates in the room. They endeavored to do so, and in a few moments it was apparent that after three years in college they did not know several of their classmates by sight. The class traditions which they cherished there must have been confined to a certain portion of the class...
...would be very undesirable for the societies to do more than nominate. On Class Day each of the two or three distinct sets of class traditions should be represented by certain officers, nominated by the societies with which these traditions are connected; but if for any reason these nominations should be unsatisfactory to the majority of outsiders, they should be able to refuse to elect the nominees and to demand new ones.

Duels are ever polite, for the consent of a gentleman to measure swords is in itself a compliment to his adversary, and implies a certain parity of position and sympathy of sentiment. We hope, then, that the future contests between Yale and Harvard will not be marred by the expression of any feeling less creditable than honorable emulation. The students of Yale must certainly see, as do we, that the true interests of Harvard and Yale...
