...That the College would not tolerate as its daily paper one which expresses such sentiments as those in the Harvard Magazine and others which the seething brains of embryo-politicians have brought forth, we are fully confident. The motive of self-advertisement is perhaps too apparent to make their threat bear weight. It will doubtless amuse Cambridge to see its youngest periodical attempt to attract attention to itself by sticking out its small tongue at the CRIMSON; and we can hardly believe that the average undergraduate will sympathize with its attempts to establish a cheap and noisy paper which finds...

The University learned the lesson in the old days of the first Harvard Regiment; the Iron Battalion of last summer was another cruel demonstration of the same truth. Although the Corps is not yet in great need of the heavy threat of probation to preserve discipline, it is better that the rigid system be now put into force before the efficiency of the-Corps suffers by the slackness of a few eccentric members...
