...first place student correspondents are more fond of argument than criticism. A single criticism of faculty or studies brings out a dozen defenders. The editorial department of a college paper must be critical at times, but, as the reflection of college sentiment, it is as often deprecatory of student shortcomings as of faculty haughtiness. That faculties dislike to be criticised is not true in the main, we think. No body of men like fault-finding; but good honest criticism, when well meant and of a "remedial" character must meet with respect anywhere...
...genius. And we steal his lines and post them as an offering to our love, no longer his. With pedantic pen and labored toil B. sings of the "Wail of the Whip-poor-Will," and if his lines help out the editor of the Bugle, and are printed, a fond mother weeps in joy over the promise of her son, and the Century registers a new contributor. C. is taking Phil. I. He breaks forth into an exegesis of Hedonism. The readers of the Bugle read and simply wonder. Perhaps it is all right, perhaps not. No one pauses...
...general idea men of other colleges have of Harvard, is that it is a place where no man should go unless he is abundantly supplied with cash, or has a fond and wealthy parent not too careful in examining his son's accounts, and that with this condition favorable, Harvard is a good place for a man to have a good time, and to see something of the world, but that he must do his studying elsewhere. Nothing is more erroneous than this idea. Harvard is a place where, in point of wealth, the extremes meet, and that is just...
...members of the CRIMSON board are all virtuosos. We are all fond of old china, of bric-a-brac, of everything quaint, curious and antique. We take delight in rare old editions of rare old books in rare old bindings. We even enjoy rare old jokes, and racy remarks. We do not object to having the Advocate and the Lampoon fling their merry jests at us, for they must fill up their columns, and their jocose sayings are not able to hurt. But we should urge a plea to the Lampoon to vary the style of its lively quip...
...Harvard student is proverbially fond of fault finding. Nothing is more to his taste than a dignified protest against some great and crying evil, or an undignified but lively "kick" against some minor form of grievance. The latest abuse upon which student opinion has felt itself obliged to frown may be classed with the smaller annoyances of college life. It seems that the students who have elected courses requiring their presence at the Agassiz Museum are subjected to great annoyance by the custom of some of the instructors of detaining their sections until the hour has fully expired. By this...
