EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I feel impelled to bring to notice through your columns the actions of a certain set of sophomores in Memorial Hall. In the matter of loud talking, boisterous behaviour, and general vulgarity of demeanor they are unexcelled. If they would only indulge in their monkey shines when there are no strangers about; but they seem to take particular delight in throwing bread, hammering on the table and cursing the waiter when there are spectators in the gallery. Just at this time the public is subjecting Harvard students to a good deal of unfavorable criticism, and it behooves...
...seems to be a rule among press reporters, whenever they can make out a story which will injure college men, that it is their duty to do so, and they follow the paths of their so-called duty with a ghoulish glee that is positively sickening. There are certain papers in Boston which seem to make a business of filling up their columns with false trash about Harvard whenever they are hard up for stuff.

We are certain the faculty have taken the right course for clearing away the difficulties of our present situation by the investigation...
...little. The Banjo Club appeared first with the selection "Leaning on the Garden Gate." The club does not yet play with the finish one would expect, but in the second number they were encored at each appearance. The Glee Club gave a group of college songs, but with a certain lack of life. One feature was a tenor solo by Mr. Willard, who sang the "Russian Song" with much delicacy. The "Bill of Fare" quartette "took" as usual. The Pierian is certainly ambitious in attempting the andante and minuet from Mozart's E. 6 symphony, but they were...
