...Thomas M. Osborne '84 spoke in the Living Room of the Union last evening on "The George Junior Republic." He showed what the experiment was and what sort of work it was accomplishing. The Republic was not a complete organization at first, but was a gradual outgrowth of a summer camp, established by Mr. William George in 1891. Mr. George established a jury system with a judge and district attorney, and a supreme court of appeals was instituted. In the fall of 1894 Mr. George decided to form a legislature and institute a system of coinage. The thought struck...
...Garcelon L.'95 spoke on the work taken to develop the recent successful teams. Captain Burr worked all last summer planning and making arrangements for this fall. The spirit of success has been felt by everyone, and everyone should foster this spirit by taking some part in the outdoor work.

The work of digging began in April, as contemplated, and continued a week, with a moderate number of workmen. It began again on May 22 with a small force and lasted for two weeks. The excavations began a third time, with a large force, on July 11, and continued until August 21. The first two interruptions were due to local difficulties, which fortunately did not occur during the third period of work...
