The present freshman class so far has proved itself one of the quietest freshman classes that has been in the college for years. It showed its good sense early in the year by not attending the theatre in a body, and making the class and the college the subject of the customary long editorial in the Boston papers, on the "gang of ruffians, presumably from Harvard," "Harvard roughs," etc. For this '85 deserves the hearty thanks of the college. We never before knew the Boston press to refrain so long a time - five months now - from venting its indignation on Harvard students. But while '85 deserves to be commended for the general quietness of its members, it needs a word of warning in regard to its athletic prospects, and the pecuniary support of its nine and crew. '85 should remember that the freshman races and base ball games will form an important part of Harvard's athletics this year, and should support them accordingly. We also advise every man in the class who can do anything at all in athletics, to enter for the athletic contests that take place in March, and not show the usual freshman timidity in putting themselves forward for athletic honors. The winter meeting of the Athletic Association will determine, in a great measure, how much we may depend upon '85 to help Harvard keep up her reputation for general athletics that she has won at Mott Haven during the past two years. Again we expect '85 to give more hearty pecuniary support to her nine and crew, and to make the best showing possible in the coming athletic contests.
