...light solferino or a mongrel pink? It is amusing on Regatta days to observe the variety of shades donned by Harvard's friends. They range from a delicate pink to a crimson so dark as to be almost maroon. If some one of our sister colleges with a similar color - and there are such - should make her appearance on the river as a powerful rival, would there not ensue "confusion worse confounded...
...picture-stand (made after similar ones in the South Kensington Museum) which may be found in the main hall of the Library there are engravings, woodcuts, and etchings, from the Gray Collection with one exception, - fifty in all. These are specimens of Durer arranged chronologically.

The other paper, The Times, lays no claim to the highly literary, but is full of college news and life. Its founders have wisely adopted a plan somewhat similar to the one in vogue here. The editors are chosen from the four classes by the outgoing board. This is a great innovation, as the editors of the Era are from the Juniors, and are elected by the class, thus making their election more the result of the workings of cliques...
