HARVARD men will find some extremely witty burlesque writing in the item column of the last, Advocate, under "Comments on the Recent Fire"; the hits there are too good not to be continued, and we look for more...
...circular sent out by the Art Club and printed in another column needs but little explanation. Nothing has been done of late years by undergraduates that will add so much to the permanent advantages of the University. The object of the club is to secure a collection of ancient works of art, which will be loaned to the University on the one condition that members of the club and others can always have access to it.

Not satisfied with us attacks upon our Nine as a body, it has devoted nearly a column to direct personal insults to one of our principal players. The insult is so open, so needless, and so flagrant, that we should advise the members of the various sporting organizations of the college to decline to have any further dealings with Brown until a full apology has been offered...
