A rumor is in existence about college that certain members of '86 are endeavoring to revive the foolish custom of going to the theatre in a body, and to induce their classmates to join with them in the undertaking. It is greatly to be hoped that this rumor is unfounded. We can conceive of nothing more unfortunate than the revival of this custom at Harvard; nothing of late years has ever tended so much to hurt the reputation of Harvard in the outside world as the continuation of this harmful custom. To '85 belongs the honor of first abandoning it. Let not the charge be laid upon '86 of reviving the practice after once the precedent had been established to ensure its discontinuance. We feel assured that any attempt of this sort on the part of '86 would meet with the unanimous condemnation of all the rest of the college. The honor of Harvard College demands that the practice be stopped.
