...cross-country team has never had enough candidates, would it not be a good plan to have a Freshman team next autumn? Cornell has a very large squad of freshmen running every season, and the resulting championship teams from Ithaca would justify such a venture at Harvard. At almost all the larger colleges there are also class cross-country races, either during the season, or, more often immediately after it-the university men being allowed to compete for their respective classes...
...argued the negative side. In theory the tax is perfectly fair, but in practice it is most unjust. It would be difficult to ascertain the exact amount of a man's income, his debts and his salary. The fluctuations in a business man's salary would make it almost impossible to determine his income. In Germany, England and Switzerland it has been found to be most harmful, and would it be much better in France? The income tax has made a most conspicuous failure in America; would that same tax succeed in France, a country most like the United States...
...Collier. He upheld the affirmative side. The rent tax has degenerated into a marriage and children tax. Thus, in other ways, such as the door and window tax, the present system is inadequate and unjust.

The income tax did not bring about the French Revolution. The French deputies, who are nearest the will of the people, voted for it at their last session. This seems abundant proof that the French people...
...season. To have the first game of the Yale series played in New Haven will give a different color to the Cambridge game in the week of Class Day. The transfer of the third game, which has been so often necessary to decide a tie that it may almost be called a fixture, to Boston, and arranging it for the day preceding Commencement, would add interest to that empty interval between Class Day and Commencement. The best feature of the changed dates is that the men on the baseball teams can now be dismissed nearly a week earlier than hitherto...
...progress of dentistry during the past sixty years has been extraordinary. Indeed, dentistry as a profession requiring a wide range of varied knowledge and a high degree of skill of eye and hand may almost be said to have been created within that period. The work to be done by the dentist, and his materials and apparatus for doing that work are, for the most part, applications of three sciences: chemistry, physics, and biology, which have each made rapid progress since the middle of the nineteenth century. To the progress of applied chemistry, dentistry owes a large number of valuable...
