College life is free and easy, and athletics particularly so engaging that it is very easy for us to forget the higher duties we are here to perform. But intellectual culture is, or ought to be after the primary aim of college life. Athletics are well in their place-are essential, in fact, but just as soon as they begin to absorb the best of our energies, a halt must...
...points brought out in President Eliot's address to the students last evening are well worth our attention.

The matter we believe deserves...
...urge all students who have any taste for newspaper work to try at once for the CRIMSON, Undergraduates are too apt to forget that college papers as well as college athletics must receive student support. Candidates who desire any further information concerning the work required will be gladly received by either the president or the managing editor...
