...year eighteen hundred and eighty-five has now yielded to a successor, and the class that was graduated last June now feels itself more completely separated from its alma mater. The lingering year, with its '85, was sort of a thread holding the class to the college; but now that thread has gone, and the '85 man says, "I was graduated last year." But it is different with the senior of '86. He says, at once with pleasure and with regret, "I am graduated this year." Thus the coming of a new year seems somehow to make more...
...about at two or three different angles before the happy recipient could satisfy his thrilling interest in its contents, the new bill may be read, like any other bill, with less trouble and in less time. The economy of the revised form is of course quite of the subjective sort, for the figures at the right are not materially changed from those of former years.

'I do not believe in trying that sort of thing with boys,' was the remark made to me of the matter. Such opinions are unconsciously based on experience furnished by the University of Pennsylvania, and, thus applied, I should concur in them. It would be utterly unwise to attempt to introduce the system in full operation at Harvard...
...mighty sounding of "Ah!" ensued upon the arrival of the players, and soon all was in readiness for an appearance. It would be unwise to attempt a criticism of the rendering of the programme, for the scientific analysis by the CRIMSON'S musical editor next Thursday would make a sort of ante facto chestnut of this article. Suffice it to say that the concert was an entire success. The Portland audience was undeniably a very cold one, but was warmed into enthusiasm by the rendering of the college songs and by the Meyerbeer march. The latter was played with excellent...
