...await the next number of the Nation with interest, feeling sure that the angry replies will be numerous. The subject of the Yale societies is a very troublesome one just at present. Frame time to time, we hear of some distinguished graduate who attacks these societies of his alma mater and who ridicules the customs to which they give rise. We, at Harvard, have long made a standing joke of the air of mystery which attaches to all the numerous pins which decorate the waistcoats of our Yale friends.

...carefully graded track and athletic ground on Holmes field, on a spot where only last spring a pathetic and unsuccessful swamp struggled for the mastery with a few scattered tennis courts and some willow trees, is calculated to fill the student returning to the bosom of the alma mater with emotions of agreeable surprise. If the freshmen of former year have had cause to wonder at the vastness and extent of the college, what must be the feelings of the freshmen of today ? But these very freshmen, moreover, themselves afford the greatest cause for wonder and congratulation. A class whose...
