...your late issues appeared an editorial charging the members of the Pierian Sodality with gross neglect. The members, I think, will all plead guilty to the charge, but they are undoubtedly justified in their stand to great extent, either by a lack of energy on the part of the management or by a lack of invitations to give concerts in the suburbs of Boston. Last year the Pierian Sodality gave at least ten concerts, outside of Cambridge, and as there always was plenty of jollity after the concert, the men took a great deal of interest in their work...
...been omitted from the college calendar. Many of us will be deprived of hearing Professor Norton speak on a subject of great interest, simply because insufficient notice was given. The loss will be greater than that of missing an ordinary lecture.

...athletic outlook were condensed into one, the effect might be more striking. The editorial on Bloody Monday punches is an expression of the best sentiment of the college and is a well-timed protest against a custom, which has become a disgrace. Ninety-two cannot complain of neglect. Mother Advocate, as she dubs herself editorially, coddles the freshmen with a tenderness almost touching, both in the editor's column and in "Topics of the Day." The latter is a few words of valuable advice which deserves the attention of the freshmen, and, if we may suggest of many upper classmen...
