One of the pleasing diversities of Harvard life is the amount of thought which is bestowed upon the student by his anxious admirers of every class. We hear at times the religious wail soon drowned in the cry of horror arising at the news of a "Harvard rush." And as a fitting accompaniment, we hear the low sigh of the maiden aunt at "those horrid Harvard punches." But when revolving time brings us face to face with questions of Harvard finance, the country is inundated with a mass of information concerning the Harvard pocket-book which is more stupendous than truthful. If we spend much, we are thought occasionally to replenish our pockets by innocent bets, and thus to obviate any temporary disadvantages arising from lack of funds. One of the glittering journals of New York has investigated the accounts of the average Harvard student, and we are pleased, for our vanity of course, is at stake, to see that the figures run up among the garrets in which the article was evidently written. If the article "takes," we trust that next season, or even next week in the distant and truthful west, we may see a cipher or two more added to the sum. With what pleasure should every Harvard student read this glaring account of his "slinging" his papa's money.
