...wish to call the attention of our readers to the communication on the Speakers' Club printed in another column. This communication seems to refute absolutely the several criticisms made against the Club in the communication in yesterday's issue of the CRIMSON, and the facts presented show that the criticisms made were unjust and censurable, and untrue as regards some statements made. Like all other undergraduate organizations the Speakers' Club has its faults, but in the main it is doing a splendid and much-needed work. It is not merely an organization of prominent debaters and speakers in the College...

In our previous editorial we pointed out the desirability of making this a permanent feature, and we hope with the writer of this morning's communication that the office will...
...Divinity avenue and Frisble place. The main entrance is from Kirkland street, opening into a lower vestibule, with office-rooms on each side. Beyond a small rotunda is the Romanesque Hall, about 70 feet long, which will contain, among other valuable parts of the collection, the collosal Bernward Column. From the farther end of the Romanesque Hall an entrance leads into the Gothic Hall...
