...more or less representive of Harvard life. As a matter of fact, it is representative of only "a very little corner" thereof, and represents this corner in a far from attractive light. With the exception of Haydock, all the characters are unmanly, snobbish, morbid or unhappy. That such characters exist in every college class is of course undeniable, but they are, after all, not typical of this University or, let us hope, of any other...
Several vacancies exist in scholarships belonging to the Graduate School. They have arisen through the withdrawal of students in Classical Philology, History, Mathematics, Chemistry and Botany; and will probably, though not necessarily, be filled from the same departments respectively. The Henry Lee Memorial Fellowship for the study of Political Economy is also vacant. Graduate Students who wish to be considered as candidates in the filling of these vacancies, or of others which may arise later, are requested to give immediate notice in writing to Mr. R. D. Blandy, at No. 10 University Hall. New applicants should fill out official blanks...

But that no such evils exist is proved by the immense economic prosperity of the past thirty years and what business troubles there are have been in no way due to the currency...
...discussion of a future policy is absurd. We can tell nothing about a scheme to be adopted later. Our question is of the present. Harvard has made this entirely a theoretical question. It is, on the contrary, practical and concrete. It should be settled at once upon conditions which exist. The question of bimetallism is no longer an open one. The evolution toward monometallism has not been natural. All the nations today are putting up with the evils of monometallism because they have given
