...present day there are associations in all the larger cities of the United States representing the various colleges. Princeton is especially active just now in founding new Princeton clubs in different places that may reunite her graduates and also keep alive a tender feeling, for the University, which shall cause them to send their sons to the same college. Harvard has no need of this sudden outburst of proselytism, because Harvard clubs are already very widespread and influential. The work has been done in past years and we are now reaping the benefits of it. The way in which these...
...custom in German High schools. The great difficulty in this innovation lies in the matter of scholarships. If our professors have not sufficient insight to be able to judge of the merits of the students taking their courses, without having recourse to the percentage system, why let them keep it up for those men who are trying for scholarships.

There is vice here, much of it, and he is blind who does...
...freshman crew which was much needed, but to which, as a candidate for the crew, I beg leave to take one exception. The criticism ran thus: He (the captain) alone of all the crew, understands the necessity there is for hard work, and is doing his best to keep them up to their work and teach them something against their will." Captain Storrow cannot receive too much praise for the energy and perseverance that he has shown in his devotion to the crew. Is it not however, rather strong to say that every other man trying for the crew...
