...unpleasant things that the captain of any athletic organization has to encounter is the presence among the candidates for his team or crew of men who are actuated in their candidacy not by any desire for the good of the College, but by mere personal vanity. We do not intend to go into an elaborate discussion, and attempt to fix the proportion which such vanity may rightly hold in each man's motives. But it is manifest that in athletics, where the co-operation of numbers is necessary, some stronger and, if we may say so, higher motive than this...
THERE are many societies in College, and the janitors - who are never known to fail in any thing except their work - have determined to add another to the list. The society which they intend to form has for its object not the pursuit of knowledge, but simply pleasure. The janitors and goodies expect to give a ball every year.

K., but we cannot consider it otherwise than unfortunate that a society that in 1854 elected sixteen men from a class of forty should cut down its proportions...
...intend to enter the lists with an attack on co-education. That subject has been discussed till every one is weary of the subject, but we do believe that our own Alma Mater should remain true to her principles, and we regret deeply to see her even by slow degrees abandon her position by the side of Yale, Columbia, and Princeton, for a new one with Cornell, Oberlin, and Boston University...
