...fifth speaker was C. S. Collier '11, who upheld the affirmative side of the question. The equitable principle in taxation is the principle of equal sacrifice. With this in mind we may divide the question into three phases: (1) The intrinsic justice or injustice of the present system, (2) the intrinsic justice or injustice of the proposed system, and (3) the comparative efficiency of the proposed tax. The present system relies chiefly on the tariff, and is very heavy on the poor; the proposed tax is superior, as it falls on accumulated wealth. The income tax is especially adapted...
...petitioners must bear in mind the following eligibility rules: All men who are candidates for the degrees of A.B. or S.B. in 1910, all men who have received or will receive their degrees as of the class of 1910, and all men who are fourth-year special students shall be eligible to vote; but no man who has voted in any previous Class Day election shall be eligible to vote.

Some of the very best teachers I have known, and some of the very best teachers that you have known, are not versed primarily in the science of education. Some of the very best scholars with whom you have come in contact here at Harvard, may have impressed...
...There are certain inward satisfactions that have been revealed to me in the few years I have been in educational circles. In undergraduate life, the supreme pleasure is to obtain such a control of the mind, that will enable you to turn upon any subject that may interest you, and hold it there until it delivers to you all that is possible to see,--to show up to you all that is within that subject, that man is capable of discovering. There is constantly in the college community a lifting up from plane to plane, higher and higher. The social...
