...College will become worthless if business establishments are continually canvassed by irresponsible parties; second, what is of more importance, the honor of the College is certainly at stake if public opinion shall excuse swindling. We all have a sympathy for such peccadilloes as breaking windows or "ragging" signs, though even they are objectionable on the score of puerility; at any rate, there is in them neither meanness nor avarice nor downright dishonesty, only an effervescence of deviltry. But when these customs, skill in which is esteemed among us, as among the Spartans, are made the means of cool speculation...
...present Sophomore and Freshman classes even the meagre instruction before doled out. In this one respect our College is and has for a long time been behind other smaller institutions. These have good instruction by eminent elocutionists furnished them, while we are forced to get it at private expense, though the College ought to furnish it. For this reason we are glad to see the advertisement of a gentleman fully competent to give good instruction in Elocution. He will satisfy a long-felt want...
THERE must have been something more than the wine-crackers at the bottom of it all, though I shall always maintain that they were very strong.

And as I think the matter over, I remember that Jones said something about its not being right to allow somebody to go to bed alone; that somebody chased Jones around the room, and finally threw a boot...
...meaningless to us. For aught I know, he might have been an officer in one of these, and led his troop down from their armory in the top of Hollis, or presided at the clam-chowder served up on the annual cruise of the other. He might have been (though no one would have guessed it from his bent body and trembling hands as he sat there in the dying firelight) leader of the trembling crowd of Freshmen on the Delta on one of the first nights of the year, and given "warning," and followed the spinning ball right among...
...playing strange clubs, and a lack of feeling of any responsibility on the part of the Class. Should the present negotiations prove successful, the first reason will be entirely removed. The second can only be removed by a change in feeling throughout the Class and the College generally, and, though this cannot be done in a moment, an exhibition of pluck and a determination to win, like the present, will go far towards it. We hope to see a break in the chain of defeats this year...
