VERILY, I put my hand out to let a draft of fresh air into an ill-ventilated spot, and, 10, I hit upon a hornet's nest! Within the few short days that have passed since my communication appeared, no less than three letters have been written on the subject, and I understand there are some more in store for me, wretched one! Let it be understood, however, that "J. N. M." is by no means so ferocious as might be supposed from the warmth with which the controversy is conducted. So small is, in fact, his bump of pugnaciousness...
...put the whole matter into a nutshell: why did not the Brethren, if they are to be considered liberal, make a straightforward, honest statement of their position, that they were henceforth willing to admit Liberal Christians without reserve? A society that stands pledged for the highest morality ought to have moral courage enough to define its position about membership fairly and squarely, and not leave its constitution so that it can be twisted any way, both to satisfy its exclusive tendency, and to preserve before the public the reputation of being liberal...

His suggestion that perhaps the addition of subsidiary 'events' might attract a larger crowd to the Harvard-Yale contest, would, if adopted by the managers, have a tendency to put more lives in peril annually than the running of a dozen observation trains.

College men have always shown a great aversion to lamp-posts, particularly those on the bridge, and make light of putting out the glass lights when the gas lights have been put out; but, on the other hand, have shown a great love for "Lampy," whose bright light is far more brilliant even than Edison's Electric Light. Therefore let us earnestly seek for the return of "Lampy" and then...
...room, Harvard 6, in which there are no facilities for writing, and the ventilation is notoriously bad. So far as this is concerned, we entirely agree with the writer when he says that Harvard College was founded for men, and that students, accordingly, should not be put to inconvenience by outsiders. The mere question of convenience can easily be settled, it would seem, by transferring the course to Sever, or to some room where there are tables for the eight men who regularly elect the course, to write at. But regarding the tendency towards co-education, which the writer traces...
