...tendency to crowd out all other local music on account of their exceedingly low price, and if this be the case, it would certainly be a matter of regret to all, but really there seems to be room enough for both. Such a claim is unjust. They can never affect the great mass of local music for they do not enter into competition with it. If however, the question ever narrows to a choice between concerts by a club or two, and such a series of concerts as we were favored with last winter, we most certainly hope that...

Two warnings-instead of three now disqualify a player, and while accidental violation will not seriously affect a player, nevertheless a more effective embargo has been put on the foul play we have so often witnessed.

There was no rent paying land, but there was not any no-interest paying...
Some of the colleges affect to disregard student opinion. The ultra conservatism of the old-time pedagogue cannot easily brook the democratic tendencies of undergraduate thought in the modern American college. But the more liberal of the colleges, and Harvard, no doubt, among them, have come to recognize that undergraduate opinion should, to a certain extent, be respected. Indeed, this belief has been carried so far that in one or two instances attempts have been made to establish a system of self government among the college classes. Undergraduate opinion, it should always be remembered, is likely before long to become...
