...Harvard Shakespeare, edited by Rev. Henry N. Hudson," deserves some notice, perhaps, at our hands. We are certainly concerned in an undertaking which boldly appropriates the name of our College for its titlepage. But we can hardly congratulate Mr. Hudson on his good judgment in thus attempting to connect himself or his writings with an institution that has never yet taken the slightest notice of him. We confess it had occurred to us that there was only one man who could properly edit a "Harvard" Shakspere, and that man was our own Professor Child; it had also occurred...
...meet the fair ones. Now, whether he was too flurried to calculate aright the time of the train's arrival, or was unduly long putting the finishing touches to his toilet, will ever be a matter of doubt; but that he blundered somewhere and, as a consequence, failed to connect, there can be no doubt, for, when he reached the depot, he found that the train had come and was gone, and that his lady friends had gone too.

The modus operandi is as follows: You sit inside of the tube on a seat like those of the rowing-machines, a wad is placed at your back, and at a given signal a Yale man kicks...
...delighted Harvard students and their friends for generations. The only Class Day that seventy-nine has seen took place in their Freshman year. Is it to be supposed that they will exert themselves to restore ceremonies which, provided they were treated in the canonical manner, they can only connect with a severe course of snubbing? With the present Senior class lies the power of killing or perpetuating Class Day, and may wisdom guide them in their action...
