The question has been raised why the route of the torch-light procession does not lie in Boston? Why the students should not accommodate their Boston friends by visiting that city instead of simply marching through provincial Cambridge? We need only say in the first place that the procession was not originated as a form of amusement for the inhabitants of any particular section, and in the second place that to transfer the scene of the celebration to Boston would render the whole occasion ridiculous. Here the college was founded, here should its foundation be celebrated. Any idea which regards the celebration as simply a means of amusement is unworthy of the occasion.
