...fair-minded person, it must be evident that framing rules against unfair playing does not necessarily show the spirit of roughs and sharpers in the elevens. There was never a set of rules yet in any athletic sport which did not prohibit unfair play, because it is always possible that some "rough" or "sharper" may make unfair plays. One might as well, following their line of thought, give up the Christian religion because of the ten commandments; or like St. Simon Shylites, withdraw from the society of mankind and sit on the top of a pillar because of our criminal...
...because we believe not to do so would be to fail in our duty as representing the undergraduate opinion of Harvard. We would counsel all the students to be calm and reasonable, but none the less we would advise some immediate concerted action on their part, if only to show the drift of their opinion. We believe that the best thing to be done under the circumstances is to appeal to the faculty, and if they uphold the committee then to appeal to the corporation, and if this is in vain,-then our last resource is to make an appeal...

And that...
...good many men have been summoned recently on account of cuts taken last year. This seems quite a useless thing. If the records show that a man has been absent from too many of his recitations, the faculty have the power to demand better attendance of him at the time; and why they do not do this, but wait until many months have passed, is a matter hard to understand. If their aim is to exact a more faithful attendance, surely it is easy to notify a man of the fact before he has completed the year in what...
...have received but few contributions of sufficient merit to warrant publication. We feel sure that there are a number of men in the freshman class who can do good work if they will only make the effort. We hope that these men will come forward and show that the class has good material from which to draw. The vacancy caused by the withdrawal of '84 must to a large extent be filled by '87, in the case of the college papers as well as in athletics. '87 should show as good a spirit in this matter as has been shown...
