...take place to-day would be marked by greater enthusiasm and less insincerity. But we have indeed to be thankful that the average Harvard undergraduate has outlived the period when everything curious or unusual is worthy of attention simply because of its curiosity or novelty. A celebration is of interest to us, not from the fact that it is a celebration, but because it has a meaning deeper and more potent than any fact or expectation to be seen on the surface. It is this spirit of insight which will add zest to the programme of to-day and which...
...four memorial editions of the CRIMSON will be of lasting interest to every undergraduate of the college as well as to every graduate. Haec olim meminisse juvebit, when in future years the old files come to hand, and the memories of the good times "when we were boys together at Harvard," are brought to mind by the celebration of the 300th anniversary.

A number of gentlemen have accepted the invitation of the club to lecture before them...
...kind hospitality shown to the senior class last Thursday evening is a matter we take upon ourselves to thus publicly mention, not only as a sign of our sincere appreciation of the warmhearted interest shown in our behalf, but also because it is a token of the height upon which education is now dawning. No longer are we in college divided into men and boys, professors and students; but, to insert Dr. Hale's good phrase, the distinction is only, "You old fellows, and we young fellows." College, then, is merely a giving of the experience of the older fellows...
