...Richard H. Dana, of New York, is to address the students on the subject of Reforms in Political Methods, and how to bring them about. The subject will of course be approached from a non-partisan point of view, and Mr. Dana's great familiarity with political affairs cannot fail to make the meeting both interesting and instructive. It may be well to add, for the sake of those who are spending their first year at Cambridge, that the college conference meetings are managed entirely by the students, and that the topics and speakers are chosen by and for them...
...general college sentiment in the matter, and certainly at first thought the restriction does seem harsh. A little careful reflection, however, puts the subject in a new light.

No more fruitful field certainly could have been chosen for the initial work than the site of ancient Delphi so replete with the historic associations of all Greece, and the results there attained cannot fail to be a great addition to classical learning. It is a just matter of pride to us as Harvard men, also, that the project now started is largely in the hands of Harvard graduates. The work, therefore, for us must have a double interest, and we ought now as students...
