...college where he got it; and such distinction, as long as it exists, can hardly be said to be for the best interests of education. The same remarks apply to certificates of admission as well as to certificates of graduation. Of course it is not desirable to lower the present high standard of some college to an equality with the standards of others, but rather to raise the lower standards. While such a change might affect with injury the prosperity of the high-standard colleges, yet to the colleges at large it would be a benefit, and, of course, general...
...increasing fierceness until its results shall far exceed anything yet known in the history of Cambridge travelling? What can be more obvious than that the Cambridge road will promptly reduce its fares to three cents, and that the rival lines will continue to "see each other and go one lower" until both roads begin to offer premiums to secure traffic?

Coming as it did, however, soon after the hazing affairs at Princeton, and the rough and tumble rush at Yale, it cannot fail to draw down upon the college a great mass of unkind criticism. The city press is only too glad to magnify the most trivial college scrapes until they assume the dignified proportions of a riot, as many...
...surprised to learn that members of the lower classes are either blankly refusing to give up their rooms to seniors for use on next class-day, or are giving them up with a good deal of reluctance. Only freshmen have any excuse for not knowing that it is a time-honored custom for all lower classmen to yield their rooms to seniors for class-day, of all the days in the year, the seniors day; and, if nothing else, it is at least a courtesy for all others to give way to them at that time...
