...University Chorus, which has been meeting Monday nights at 8 in the Fogg Lecture Room under Professor Max Friedlaender, of Berlin University, is perhaps the most practical answer that has yet been given to the question, "How can we get better football songs?" The problem of football songs is one of general musical appreciation, and this has been impossible without some general centre of musical activity open to all who enjoy singing and can give only a little time to it. Professor Friedlaender has consented to organize such a centre, a rather formidable undertaking in a university which is regarded...
...hold. But has the University ever had any influence on the plan of study in such institutions? When it is seen that more than half the public high schools of Massachusetts have not sent to Harvard a single boy in ten years, it is clear that the true answer is negative.

One of the undergraduate papers is already committed to this policy, another has the equally important aim of preserving...
...obliged to, and if so how much? In other words, is it the business of the College to let him use his time as he pleases, or to cram an education down his throat? This is a difficult question which the CRIMSON is not altogether prepared to answer definitely, but we are inclined to think that the average student would prosper fully as well if a little more knowledge were forced down. This is a question on which we should be glad to hear further discussion...
