The orders for the formation of the Harvard contingent in the torchlight parade are pub ished this morning, and we trust they will be obeyed to the letter. In voting to join the Republican procession, the classes stated that their action was not to be considered as being significant of their political views, and therefore we hope that every one will observe the rule about transparencies and cheering for candidates. We would caution the men to preserve as perfect order as possible; in view of the disgraceful exaggerations concerning Harvard recently made by the press, we cannot be too careful. Let us give these newsmongers no chance to cast mud at us. Above all there should be no attempt at rushing; we only speak of this because certain rumors have reached our ears. There have been some complaints about the position assigned to us in line; there is no cause for complaint. The positions have been assigned according to the localities from which the various organizations hail; and Boston certainly has the right of way. Let us do everything in our power to make our share of the parade a success; but let us be careful not to overstep the bounds of good behavior and decency.
