...will deny that very often an article or a poem in a college paper derives additional interest from the reader's acquaintance with the writer; and it is not absolutely necessary that this acquaintance be a personal one. The knowledge that we are reading an author of whose merits we have formed a previous judgment imparts zest, even if that author presents himself to our imagination only as X, Y, or Z. It is, therefore, to be regretted that articles are not more systematically signed with initials real or assumed. A writer should not be either too modest...
...Chaucer reading, on Monday last, drew out a large audience, although not so large a proportion was composed of students as would naturally be supposed. Unlike the classical translations, these readings come but once a year, and then only occupy three or four evenings at most. Were not the interest in English literature at Harvard at so low an ebb, it would indeed be a matter of surprise that any member of the University should fail at some time during his residence in Cambridge to attend one of these ever-memorable Chaucer readings...
...more enthusiastic support. We cannot urge too strongly upon all the College that we owe a great deal to the Football Team, and that we should not allow it to remain in debt a moment longer.

This is only too painfully true, and though many say that after Christmas the men will "brace up" and begin to try, still that seems too indefinite...
...with very great regret that we hear of the resignation of the Dean. No officer of the university has gained more entirely the respect and esteem of the students. His official dealings with them have ever been marked with consideration and courtesy. He has ever displayed a real interest in their welfare that has not failed to make itself felt. Student nature is much less demonstrative in its likes than in its dislikes. While it never hesitates to give expression, through the indirect but effective means of satire, to its disapproval of men or measures, it is always rather backward...
...members of the Pierian Sodality and Glee Club proposed that the two societies should unite, and lease suitable rooms in which, during the winter and spring, they might together give a series of short concerts followed by dancing. The plan was given up on account of the lack of interest shown. This year, however, the two societies have effected a union, and have leased Roberts Hall on Brattle Street, where they intend to give joint concerts every six weeks or so. In thus uniting, the societies do not expect to lose their separate identity, that is, each is at liberty...
