...liberalism which pervades the faculty with regard to college studies. The study of physics is now put on an equal footing with the classics and mathematics, and all students who have any decided inclination for the study of physics should devote more time to this course than has hitherto been done. The faculty have shown their willingness to foster the growth of a college course which seemed only to lack an incentive to be one of the most popular of the various studies. Now it is time for the students to show their appreciation of the fact, and their earnest...
...faculty consider the case fairly, and I think they must see how unjust is their action. Or if it is quite impossible to have English VI, let us, at least, have some parallel course. What Harvard men need, perhaps, more than any other thing, is practice in public speaking. Hitherto this has been our only means of preparation, and now we are deprived of even this. By all means, then, let us be allowed to retain such a course as English...

Is this the practice that will enable Harvard to play a game of base-ball that shall be worthy the name? Steadiness in play, presence of mind...
...year to still further increase the usefulness of the CRIMSON. Mention has already been made that a daily communication with the college secretary has been established, and it is hoped that by this means the official news of the college will be furnished our readers more directly than has hitherto been possible. Our corps of correspondents has been selected with the greatest care, and our readers may be assured that their work will be well done. But, we wish to add that insoinsomuch as every student is naturally interested in having his daily paper as useful as possible...
