Complaints against freshman classes are always plentifullenough, but ninety-seven seems to hold the record both in the number of things to which it is indifferent and in the strength of its indifference. It has been the CRIMSON'S unfortunate fate to send up wail after wail over the manner in which the freshmen support their teams. First it was football; then the crew was ill-supported; now the baseball team is having trouble. Last week all candidates for the positions of pitcher and catcher were asked to meet in the gymnasium at 3.30 in the afternoon of a certain...
...Donald, of Trinity Church, Boston, begins the first complete week of his term of service this year as University Preacher. Since Dr. Donald began his service of the University he has endeared himself to the students by the manliness of his speech and by the cordiality of his manner toward those who may have talked with him in Wadsworth House.

His motions are hurried, he always waits till the instructor's face is turned away and then he bolts as any thief would do. His face has stamped upon it that expression of conscious guilt, that evasive, sneaking, look, which is perfectly unmistakable...
...lock the door, or he may have the attendance taken at the end of the hour instead of at the beginning, or he may stop his lecture and ask embarrassing questions. In short, Harvard College may be turned into a reform school for inculcating civility and decency of manner. This, of course, will never be done and if the students persist in this course of dishonor probably the faculty will make no regulation to stop it. Yet what sort of business is this for college men? How much strength of character, how much manliness, does such action show? None...
