...year eighteen hundred and eighty-five has now yielded to a successor, and the class that was graduated last June now feels itself more completely separated from its alma mater. The lingering year, with its '85, was sort of a thread holding the class to the college; but now that thread has gone, and the '85 man says, "I was graduated last year." But it is different with the senior of '86. He says, at once with pleasure and with regret, "I am graduated this year." Thus the coming of a new year seems somehow to make more...
...some of this "national fame" which has so deservedly come to Johns Hopkins. If Harvard undertook to publish the meritorious works of her graduates, there can be no doubt that those Harvard men, who have hitherto gone to Johns Hopkins with their writings, would gladly turn to their alma mater. We can hardly conceive of any move that would give a greater impulse to advanced study in Harvard circles than the publication of "Harvard University studies in Historical and Political Science." And why only in these departments? Surely the matter would be profitably extended to other departments as well...
While in the main we agree with our correspondent of to-day, we cannot approve of his more violent phrases.

...college men meet, in friendly rivalry, on lake and river, on base-ball and football fields, and in the various sports of field-day. Anxious parents and learned faculties look on, the while, half joyfully, half sorrowfully; now with the wild enthusiasm, shouting 'well done, boys, for Alma Mater,' now anxiously scanning the nut-brown players, if may be to discover some lurking bodily ill, some bookish imperfection which the annual newspaper squib alleges must be the sad ending of all such folly. Fortunately for the general welfare, however, these allegations are sensational, being founded on isolated cases of imperfection...
...there was not the excitement in this campaign which has been the excuse for similar outburst in the last two years, it was hoped that the usual freshman ebullition might be omitted. As all three candidates were Harvard graduates, perhaps there was a feeling that by cheering for alma mater, the different candidates could be honored, and yet the most tender of partisan feelings remain unhurt. However, the custom is a bad one and should be given...
