...going to submit the question? It might be done by petition, or better, if some member of the faculty would kindly consent to confer with the railroad officials. For the solicitation of the faculty, in behalf of the students, would undoubtedly have more influence, in a matter of this sort than the students could have for themselves. By this means, regular students rates might be secured, and the question finally settled to the advantage...
...classes are now fully organized. The most important organization, that of the senior class, is as follows: President, Herbert Livingston Satterlee; vice president, Eberhard Lamest Pupke; secretary, Augustus Dickerson Baker; treasurer, George Henry Barnes; historian, Abraham Valentine Williams Jackson.

Let not the charge be laid upon '86 of reviving the practice after once the precedent had been established to ensure its discontinuance. We feel assured that any attempt of this sort on the part of '86 would meet with the unanimous condemnation of all the rest of the college. The honor of Harvard College demands that the practice be stopped...
