...alter the old character of this part of the Class-Day programme. At the exercises about the tree all the undergraduates assembled for the first and last time. They ran about; fought for hats, caps, canes, and flowers; knocked each other down; cheered for pretty much everything that the Chief Marshal could think of; and finally separated with feelings of triumph or of rage, as they carried away trophies or bruises. Among the participants in this annual rush, the Freshmen have always been prominent. Their youthful enthusiasm has led them to run about, and to fight, and to cheer with...

Harvard's will take care of itself...
...chief objection to the preservation of the seats appears to be that they are a favorite evening resort for questionable characters, whose noisy behavior disturbs the residents of the neighborhood. The employment of a single watchman would put an end to this, and his wages would be a less serious drain upon the treasury of the Nine than the $ 75 which must now be paid to a monopolist whenever a match is played...
