...collegiate contest participate in the early morning festivities subsequent to the ball in question cannot be passed over in silence. The performances of the men who are trying for positions on the freshman eleven when regarded as a class - there are notable exceptions - have been such as to merit contempt of every Harvard man, but this last escapade is by far the most disgusting of all. On Saturday, it is expected to play the game with Yale. Rather than have such catastrophe occur the eleven had better be suppressed at once. The 'varsity team, on its return to the inter...
...their purposes as young men were in his day, when a careful reading of the leading article of the Monthly betrays a repetition of the sentiment. Dr. Everett, in English not particularly elegant, pictures student life at Harvard thirty years ago, and manages to intersperse a fair degree of contempt for certain methods which at present obtain among the students. But a class of students whose reading was Dickens, although two or more years younger than the corresponding class of to-day, were of course, "above the reproach of being magnificent animals," for those were halcyon days, when "boys began...

Let Harvard men, one and all, prove their worthiness of this confidence by combining to put the law of social contempt and condemnation upon a practice, which has more than once been eagerly caught up by those jealous of the increasing reputation of Harvard to vent their spleen against the university. All would doubtless be indignant were the question made that there is a lower standard of manly honor and truth...
...remedy for cribbing that offenders be dealt with by a jury of undergraduates. It seems to me he does not go deep enough. If public opinion were not torpid on the subject, most of the cheating would stop at once; - few men would be willing to face the sure contempt of their friends even for forty per cent. A remark I heard lately, made by an upperclassman, is rather a striking illustration of how a good part of the college world looks at these things. He was speaking of the proctors; and he said if they were done away with...
