...considered we are very sure the Independents would not desire in their ranks anyone who could adopt so shady a method of argument as the writer has done, for the letter stated that it was probable that the Technology would turn out in their parade, and desired, merely, in effect, to know if the Independent movement was strong enough here at Harvard to lead a majority of the students to parade in the Independent procession.

...communication from the chairman of the Boston Independent Campaign Committee was read, urging the students to parade with the Democratic procession, offering as an inducement the fact that the Institute of Technology had decided to parade in their ranks.

Why should they not likewise be kept from the vicinity of Memorial, where the scattering of myriad bits of paper in and outside of the transept produces an effect so untidy? Let Cambridge tradesmen confine their efforts to obtain customers to some more agreeable method and they will doubtless find that the patronage of the students will not diminish from the want of hand bill fare...
