...your columns the actions of a certain set of sophomores in Memorial Hall. In the matter of loud talking, boisterous behaviour, and general vulgarity of demeanor they are unexcelled. If they would only indulge in their monkey shines when there are no strangers about; but they seem to take particular delight in throwing bread, hammering on the table and cursing the waiter when there are spectators in the gallery. Just at this time the public is subjecting Harvard students to a good deal of unfavorable criticism, and it behooves us to be very careful of the impressions we give...
...windows every evening for the convenience of the students and others who are interested. On Saturday evening an officious police officer ordered these scores taken down, on the ground that they collected a crowd outside. As a rule, Cambridge policemen are a pretty moderate set of men, but this particular one is rather too zealous.

The general force of "X's" argument must be admitted, but when he declares that our chief purpose in wishing to play professionals is to learn a few more "tricks" he puts the matter in a wholly false light. We do not want to win the championship by tricks, if by "tricks" "X" means anything underhanded or unfair. All the sentiment of the University is against it. As "X" declares, we already know...
...more real good can be done by leaving their property to an institution which has proved its fitness to survive by an existence of over two hundred and fifty years, instead of trying to found some new school of arts or science. But the last legacy is one of particular value, because of the great freedom left to the trustees as to the disposal of the funds. In most bequests the true worth of the endowment is often seriously affected by the restrictions which are put upon its disbursement, but Mr. Wheeler had the good sense to leave...
