...class who want an education to train them for some special calling, or who have a special fondness for some one line of study, the elective system gives the opportunity which the required system refuses. This is the fundamental principle on which the elective system rests. It works to develop a man's individuality, believing that it will better for himself and for society that each man should be himself rather than that every one should be forced into a dull uniformity. The prescribed system, on the other hand, works on the principle that one shoe should be established...
...this fact may be attributed the large percent. of deaths which annually occur from pulmonary diseases. In this State one-fifth of the mortality is due to consumption, and in some other States it is even larger than this. Many men who have large chests and apparently well developed ones, are yet deficient in depth and respiratory power.

Do athletes live long? Let medical men answer. I am ashamed to argue such a question. The whole business is demoralizing and directly inimical to the objects of a collegiate institution. Roughness, vulgarity...
...that the club has several old boats which it wishes to dispose of, and we can see no better way than to give them to us, who are certainly in great need of them. We have in the school several excellent oarsmen besides many who will, with proper training, develop into good men. Most of them intend to enter Harvard. It seems to be settled that unless we are successful in getting boats there will be no races this year. The boat club cannot expect Harvard to send boats until some formal statement of its circumstances and demand is made...
