...doorsteps in the evenings, are very pleasant, but benches offer certain advantages which these do not possess, especially to those who like to read or study out of doors. And no one who prefers the grass and the steps, as probably most of us would at times, need be compelled to sit on the benches...
...benefits of training in debate, to the individual debaters, and Harvard's standing in that matter is certainly deserving of careful maintenance. But what are these freshmen to do?

Altman will be called in should Bradley's arm fail...

Their argument rests upon two false assumptions: that the measure met this need, and that it was the best way of meeting it. The need was an immediate one, but no revenues could come from this tax for ten months, and the amount even then would be uncertain. A better source of aid was open - the internal revenue taxes. Here was a source of revenue, three times that estimated for this...
