...gentleman is known by his speech and bearing," says the New York Tribune, "the Harvard statement of the case doubtless is its own best warrant. 'I know a man who had twins so much alike that the only way to tell them apart was to send one to Harvard and one to Yale. Then one came back a gentleman and one a Connecticut rough.' For native and ingenuous modesty this has its only parallel in the historic description by the Kentuckian of the guests at a Cincinnati dinner party which he had attended: 'There were present, sir, one Kentucky gentleman...
...less successful this year than in the past. The standard of excellence has always been high, and it will require more than average exertion to prevent it from falling. With so many events in prospective, the number of men who will appear daily at the gymnasium will doubtless be larger than at any other time in the year and will augur well for a good showing in the numerous contests in which we are to engage, both amongst ourselves and against common rivals. Our facilities for training and gymnasium work are unexcelled, and it is our duty, as it should...

One instructor has very kindly...
...suppose it is a necessary and indeed a useful thing for the college papers to maintain their traditional custom of annually discussing the evils of compulsory attendance at chapel. A fervent faith can doubtless see in the dim future the final realization of all our hopes in this matter, and therefore those of us who blindly grope, and have almost despaired of any such millennium, should without doubt do their utmost for the final abolition of these evil regulations by means of continual protest and energetic petition. The thought that a distant posterity will profit by our exertions, can fill...
