...threatened with a direful catastrophe. At the last meeting of the H. C. Goodies' Benevolent Association, the prevailing low price of wages was vigorously discussed, and by many it was thought that the only refuge from the present distressing condition of affairs for the guild lay in a general strike. Prudent council finally prevailed, not, however, before very emphatic dissent from the policy of conciliation was expressed by not a few. The dissatisfied ones subsequently met in secret session, and these discussed their wrongs long and earnestly. A plan of proceeding was hit upon and agreed to by all present...
Since the Yale News, yielding to the dictates of its rabid fancy, has of late been seeking to belittle Harvard's record in athletics in general, it may be in order to bring forward a few facts, obtained by a cursory glance over past college affairs.

...many to attend is undoubtedly to be severely censured. But are not these two societies themselves somewhat to blame for their small audiences? To fix the price of admission to their own concerts is undoubtedly their own business, but if the price is fixed too high for the general public can they complain if their audiences are small. It should be frankly admitted, I think, that there are many men who cannot afford the price asked to admit to a Glee Club concert. If the societies make a larger profit from high-priced tickets and small audiences than they would...
