...honorary letters, in distinction from the degrees of which our numerous mushroom colleges are so lavish. There are at present in Cambridge twenty candidates for the degree of A. M., seventeen for the degree of Ph. D., and three for that of S. D.; and this number would doubtless be largely increased next year, were it not for the one blemish in the system which needs remark. By the present system candidates for degrees are required to stay in Cambridge for a fixed term of years after having been admitted to the degree of B. A. While fully recognizing...
...Doubtless many of these results have been attained. But the great fault of the system at present is, that it resembles too closely an association for the support of four six-oar and four four-oar crews. And, however pleasant it may be to these crews to be provided with boats by the general multitude, and however beneficial it may be to the boating interests of the College, we fear that the membership of the various clubs will largely decrease next year unless better accommodation is given to the less proficient oarsmen...

They are sure, now, that they shall not be killed by this man, and they flatter themselves that his capture and punishment will be a good lesson to other artists...
...dinner and the ball were as successful as could be expected. The crowd was remarkably orderly and good-natured, - a consummation which was doubtless due to the wise action of the authorities in prohibiting rigorously the sale of all intoxicating drinks. The towns-people, however, were most hospitable, and did not withhold the refreshing cup from the weary pilgrim. Our most earnest thanks are due the Reception Committee of Lexington for the cordial welcome we received at their hands...
