...barbarous custom of stamping in the dining-hall, on the appearance of a visitor in the gallery with his hat on, will, we trust, never be renewed. It has become a thing of the past. Still, although the students have shown a more courteous spirit, nevertheless the discourtesy of wearing a hat in the hall is just as great as it ever was, and of course the discourtesy is greater if the offender be a student than if he be a stranger. It is with great surprise, then, that we learn that some of the students, boarding at the hall...
Among the phases of Harvard life which that philosopher, "Nemo," has not touched upon, is the multitude of noises, perfectly well known to the collegian, but which beat harshly on the ear of the untutored visitor. Let us go again to the 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...
...short time before the class races the boat-house was crowded daily by students anxious to see the different crews row; but now a visitor to the boat-house will find the place deserted, with the exception of the university and freshman crews and substitutes.

Trophy it should be called; meeting room is a conundrum that has puzzled the undergraduate brain since the erection of the gymnasium, and will probably continue to do so. There is a tradition that the candidates for the Mott Haven team were once notified to assemble there...
...erected until between 1475 and 1481. The buildings proper cover about eleven acres, inclosing three quadrangles of unequal size, while the grounds belonging to the institution have an extent of over one hundred acres. passing through a narrow gateway on the High street, the visitor reaches the first quadrangle called St. John the Ba tist's. In this quadrangle an annual service is held from an old altar standing in one corner, on the day set aside as sacred to that saint. The court is strewn with rushes and hung with green stuffs on that day, probably to represent...
