...victory over Princeton today. There must be absolutely no use of fire-arms or explosives of any kind. This is the main thing to remember, and, as we said yesterday, every man should feel it his duty to aid the committee in promptly suppressing any demonstration of the wrong kind of enthusiasm. If student opinion is strongly expressed against this sort of thing there will certainly be no trouble tonight in case we win the game...
...body to support this committee thoroughly in whatever it determines upon. Now that the situation has been fully explained and is thoroughly understood, every Harvard man should feel himself personally responsible for the success of our next celebration, and should be prompt to suppress the first exhibition of the wrong sort.

Good rousing cheering and marching in the Yard with the band is a right way of celebrating, but the firing of giant crackers and every description of firearms in the streets of the city is distinctly a wrong way. The use of arms and firecrackers in celebrating is an entirely new thing at college. Even in the old days, when no one ever complained that there was not enthusiasm enough at Harvard, these things were not used. Besides being dangerous they are a nuisance to the Cambridge people...
