...EDITORS OF THE HERALD: Your editorial this morning about the freshman class is, perhaps, a very proper one, and if it came from an upper-class man, a very natural one, as well, since there is a strong tendency in men, when they have once passed the boundary, to forget that they ever were freshmen. The class of '85, it seems, is remarkable in more than one respect.

After a few moments of impressive silence, one of the professors at the big table...

"The procession moved on," says John Langdon Sibley, "in perfect order to the Delta, and halted under the trees towards the upper end, where a circle was formed, and the coffin passed around for the friends to take a last look at the contents, - simply a football, with painted frill fastened to the head of the coffin."
