...lecture under the auspices of the Historical Society, will be given in Sanders Theatre next Monday. Dec. 15, at 7.45 P. M., by Mr. Edmund N. Gosse of Cambridge University, England. Subject: "Thomas Gray;" with the reading of certain poems by Gray, as yet unpublished, which Mr. Gosse recently had the good fortune to discover while preparing his forthcoming edition of Gray's works for the press. The public are invited to attend. It is hoped that the reputation of Mr. Gosse as one of the most scholarly of English critics and as an author and poet, as well...
...changes can be carried through the Intercollegiate foot ball convention. These opinions, as will be seen, are directly opposed to the assertion of the Committee. Who, I ask, is more likely to form a correct opinion of the "prevailing spirit" of the students and of the chances of carrying certain changes through the Intercollegiate convention, -the Athletic Committee, or the students themselves...
...while the students are otherwise engaged, and of closing them before the students are disengaged, is well calculated to prove a dreary season, in more than one respect.

While we hear ever...
...only reason for attendance is the keeping up of an old custom. Well, it seems to me, if that were the only reason, it ought to have considerable weight. Don't we speak of the college as our "Alma Mater?" and are not we, the students, in a certain sense all members of one great family? And is it not fitting that the family should all be together once every day? I can't see why it should be considered a hardship to attend chapel, except by those men who indulge in expensive "sprees...
...boating incurred by the students, and its alarming increase. Last year the expenditures were $6,450 ; the year before, they were $6,323. This is surely not a matter of sufficient importance to take up the valuable time of the Committee. Harvard students are generally described as possessing a certain amount of independence, and are capable of looking after their own expenditures. If students are willing to expend $6,000 or $10,000 a year on the crew, even so powerful a body as an Athletic Committee cannot stop them. If, in their solicitude for the size of students' purses...
