...feel competent to discriminate in matters of religion are unable to act in a responsible matter in a mere case of gentlemanly conduct. It is a disgrace that Harvard students, when called upon to vote as a body upon a matter of moment to the whole university, not only fail to respond to the call, but even allow themselves to be betrayed into an action characterized only by boyish irresponsibility. It is a disgrace, that when the faculty have asked the students of the university to take sober action in a matter which concerned them as men, many...
...notice of the boat club with regard to the single scull challenge cups, which appeared in yesterday's CRIMSON, should receive the careful attention of boating men in college. A single scull race with as large a number of entries as might be secured at Harvard, could not fail to be of interest to the students at large, and as an almost new form of athletic sports for Harvard, it should certainly be encouraged.

At the meetings held with the student members, a student reads a paper on some subject connected with classical study, and selected by himself, which is followed by a discussion more or less general. These papers are the results...
...assignment of college rooms has taken place, and now there are, presumably, many undergraduates who are bitterly moaning their fate in being obliged to remain outside of the college buildings during their entire course. It seems doubly hard to fail to draw a room when the unfortunate applicant sees the long list of lucky sub freshmen who have been more fortunate than he. It is a fact that out of ninety six assignments of rooms, prospective members of the class of '90 drew forty-six. It seems to us that a system which allows nearly one-half of the rooms...
