...enemy of England, after Home Rule had been granted, as before. Home Rule is something more than an attempt to abolish the evils of caste government; it is the first step in the dismemberment of the empire. In fact, Mr. Parnell declared at Chicago that this was his ultimate object. Mr. Furber closed his case by denouncing the incapacity of the Irish Parliament of 1782, and the violence of the Land League...

We do not ask to have the four days, which would extend our vacation to the customary two weeks, added by simply dropping them out of the term, for no one would object to a corresponding shortening of the long summer vacation. Harvard College exercises begin fully a week later in the fall than those of most other colleges, and I think most students agree that we would spend this week much more profitably in college than in looking around our native streets...
