...cannot here discuss the subsequent events, which almost seem to have shattered the many ties of friendship which have hitherto bound us to "Fair Harvard." It had been the intention of Columbia to say nothing whatever in regard to the controversy through the press, and it was almost the unanimous opinion of the students that, owing to the well known fairness of Harvard students in general, the whole matter would be settled to the satisfaction of all parties, and that Columbia and Harvard would still continue on their former footing of friendliness.

One might almost hazard the statement that in fully one-half of the more important novels that have appeared from the press during the past year, some recognition of this fact might be found. The college man or the recent college graduate as either hero, villain or important character in novels, seems to be growing decidedly popular. Not only as heretofore is it common to find some of the more important characters...
