...cannot be denied that the freedom from compulsion is unfortunate in one effect. It leaves room for a heedless neglect of opportunity, by which many now deprive themselves of much profit. The eminent character of the officiating ministers in Appleton Chapel, and the consequent privilege of listening to them, seems not to be always appreciated. Only recently it was said of Mr. Crothers that since Phillips Brooks, no man has shown greater depth of spiritual interpretation; yet of the students who neglected to hear him, few probably realized the chance they were throwing away. If this unfortunate heedlessness could...
...late the freshman crew has been dangerously neglected. Though some attention has been given the candidates by Captain Bullard and Fennessy, they have been left almost entirely to the coaching of men of no experience. The effect is seen in a most unfortunate falling off from the excellent form in which the crew was recently rowing. This demoralization of a very promising set of men through inadequate coaching, is seriously to be regretted. In former years a similar difficulty has often been thought to explain the failure of our freshman crews at New London, and it would be a great...

They show a harmful lack of consideration which is utterly inexcusable. No gentleman should feel himself at liberty to profit by neglecting a request with which his fellows whose interests are like his own comply, especially when his neglect is likely to endanger the priveleges of others...

The Athletic Association not long ago found itself obliged to give up the third of the indoor meetings. Last year the attempt was made to rouse enough interest to carry through two meetings successfully, but the Association has at last wisely abandoned...
There is much just criticism directed against the Harvard undergraduate's use of English, as shown in the various college papers and in the written work of the courses. To the outsider there might seem to be here some ground of complaint against the college for neglect of an important branch of the student's education. A glance at the records of this year's freshman class in the admission examination in English will at once put an end to any such idea. In 1894, out of five hundred and five candidates who presented English for the entrance examination, only...
