...initials with an ancient date, or if there is an egg or piece of parchment handed down by successive occupants. A student hears, by chance, that his room has, years ago, belonged to an Adams, an Emerson, or a Sumner, and immediately he feels a bond of union, slight though it be, with those famous men, and a desire to know more of them. If anything could be devised which would possess, not only the intrinsic interest of a transmittendum, but also lend the room the additional charm of having been occupied by a man famed far and wide...
...have grown up under the influence of Harvard, and who, interested in boating and kindred pursuits, must closely associate the magenta pennon with Harvard's success or failure, the proposal of Union College that we change our colors must have seemed not entirely devoid of that useful quality which goes by the name of cheek. And, after more sober consideration, we find reason to think that the request should be refused, if not ignored. In the first place, we think it doubtful that Union ever claimed the color before Harvard; and, even if that be the case...

Indeed, tradition reports that old John Harvard himself sported a deep crimson kerchief. Where, then, was Union...
...painful duty to inform the H. U. B. C., the H. U. B. B. C., the H. U. F. B. C., etc., that the magenta, which has graced so many victories, which was first displayed on Lake Winnipiseogee in 1859, and now adorns our Commons crockery, must be renounced. UNION COLLEGE has finally signified her willingness to enter the next regatta; UNION COLLEGE bears a magenta standard; and UNION COLLEGE desires us to change our colors...
