We present a communication this morning from "Freshman," criticising our words of commendation for '85 on account of its "quietness." Our correspondent will learn, before he has left the classic shades of Harvard, that attending the theatre in a body, and going through with the actions that have been performed there by the freshman classes of the past few years, is not a sign of manliness; and, refraining from such amusements, by no means proves that a class is composed of "dear, gentle, studious, good little boys," to quote from our correspondent. If '85 is desirous of showing herself a manly class, and desirous of keeping up old college customs, let her show it by her enthusiasm on the base ball field, at her rowing contests, and in a hearty pecuniary support of her class interests, and not by actions that have been presented annually to the public by the city papers as a blot and disgrace to the fair name of Harvard.
