...room of our dear friend Snodkins, of whom we have heard so much, and spend a quiet evening with him. Snodkins' room is in Holyoke and looks out on the well which adorns that classic building. Sitting down before his cosy fire, listening to his pleasant chat, we think, "lo, how charming is a college life; so quiet, so peaceful, so free from care." This thought has hardly passed through our minds, when a horrid noise re-echoes from the wall, rolling from story to story with wild clamor; at last it dies away, and when silence reigns again...
...little makes in the dingy, dusty, dreariness of the older buildings, can help regretting that the college has not taken the trouble during past years to set out more vines. The autumn coloring of these ivy leaves during the past few weeks has been most beautiful. And when we think how rapidly the vine grows and how easily all our older buildings might by this time have been completely clad in this garb, we feel constrained to suggest to the authorities that they give our descendants this pleasure, by beginning now the cultivation of the Japanese ivy on the walls...
...There is, however, really no more impropriety in compelling an irreverent young man to take the communion, no matter what he may think or feel about it, than to attend daily public prayers.

If anything is found amiss, it is censured; if anything deserves commendation, no one is more eager than the CRIMSON to bestow praise. We have expressed our opinion, and, we think, the sentiments of the college about some of the radical faults of our foot ball system. We have another suggestion, which, if acted upon, we think would work a great change in our method of playing foot ball. It is this. Mr. Lathrop, the trainer, has been engaged at an assistant...
...mere handful. What a contrast is this with the enthusiasm which led over two hundred men to make a similar journey two years ago. Is the cause to be looked for in a decrease of interest among the students in inter-collegiate games? We think not. Rather let us ascribe the smallness of the number to the slimmer chances of success. Two years ago Harvard had played a tie game with Princeton, and when the game with Yale came the men were enthusiastic and went to New Haven. The game there, played in the rain, was won by Yale...
