WHEN the Harvard Annex was started it was declared in the most emphatic manner that it was not a step towards co-education, that nothing was intended but a Girls' High School in which the teachers should be Harvard professors. This was by no means a novelty: long before the Annex was dreamed of, Harvard professors had given lessons at private schools in Boston. This was all well enough; professors of course had a right to dispose of their leisure in giving additional instruction, and nothing was thought of the matter. So it was when the Annex was established...
...wisest method possible of influencing the discussion in their favor.

We would suggest that, as in base ball, the Football Team play for the ball, and that these balls, with the names of the defeated teams and scores painted upon them, be given...
...wish to call attention, though in no faultfinding spirit, to the manner in which Fine Arts I has to be conducted. Unfortunately, so many students have elected this course that the instructor cannot give as much time to each one as is essential to intelligent progress; and in view of this fact, some step should be taken to make the course equally profitable to all who have elected it for the purpose of getting the best results. To expect a student to wait a half hour for his turn with the instructor without losing his equanimity, to say nothing...
