Granting for argument that religion and politics should never be brought up for discussion, it does seem as if at Harvard a university club could be formed that might organize a capital petty congress; with men from so many states there is material at hand to draw representatives "to the manor born" to sit for their own commonwealth, and who could and doubtless would gladly make an intelligent study of their own states, so as to prove valuable members, and the discussions would awaken an interest in the management of our form of government, with a knowledge of details...
There can now be no doubt about it. The Harvard Annex is an undoubted success. The triumphant announcement is made, as the final clinching argument, which can not be gainsaid, that three of the undergraduates are engaged to their professors. The most perverse opponent of co-education and the higher education of women can not continue incredulous after such monumental success as this has crowned the four years' effort of the Annex.

Of course our defeat this year would not have been an acknowledgement of fear last year, but, luckily, victory makes all argument on that point unnecessary. Therefore, with excellent reason, we extend our congratulations to the crew. After such a victory, the college should require no more urging to bring out the sum necessary for the support of the crew. The deficit is still a large one and should be made...
