...forbidden to play with professionals. This action leaves Harvard alone in her position in regard to the matter. Now that Princeton, after a trial of the new method, has deliberately decided to return to the old system, it is not probable that any other college will be induced to follow Harvard's example. While there was a good prospect of the anti-professional rule becoming general, we were willing to put up with a good deal of temporary inconvenience in order to bring about the accomplishment of that result. We have always insisted that professional influences ought to be kept...
...meeting of the executive committee of the H. U. B. C., it was decided to hold the following races on Thursday, May 10: Single sculls two miles with a turn at 3.30 P. M.; class eights at 4 P. M.

The arguments for and against the elective system have been often enough bruited to the apparent satisfaction of both sides. All arguments a priori against the system are of little value.

When the methods of the political caucus and ward-meeting are introduced into college elections, it may well be doubted, we repeat, whether a wholesome moderation, which hesitates to follow absolutely the dictates of party interests in college matters, may not be a blessing in disguise...
...from an annex under the care of Harvard's professors to a women's college, as a part of Harvard University, is likely to prove a measure of far greater import than even the introduction of the elective system, with all its wide-spreading results. Any changes that might follow will of course be very gradual, but for that reason will be all the more far-reaching. Harvard thus far has represented one type of college life, the exact opposite of which is represented by such an institution as the University of Michigan. The difference between the two types...
