...wish to draw attention to a topic treated at some length in the editorial of the last Monthly. An appeal is there made for a better system of arrangement of new buildings as they are presented from time to time. The special occasion for the appeal is the selection of a location for the Brooks House, which is to be placed in the corner between Stoughton and Holden Chapel. Another selection of a site has recently been made. Randall Hall, the new eating-house which is to accommodate 600 men, is to be placed on Kirkland St., east of Memorial...
...modifications, the recommendation of the New York conference with regard to uniformity in entrance examinations for all colleges. The university has provided a competent physician who has supervision not only over the athletic teams but also over the health and work of all the students.

He might have lived to build a railroad, to be a useful citizen or to have a happy home, but one thing we know, though it had been years later, his death, could not have brought home to his friends with greater force its lesson...
...Taken on Approval," although clever, is silly and does not justify its length-it is by far the longest contribution in the number. "When I'm Polite," is an anecdote not worth the telling and it is not very well told either. The number contains the usual collection of literary gymnastics under the head of "College Kodaks." One of these, called "My Lady of Boston," is in miserable taste and reminds one of the well known fable of the Fox and the Grapes...
