...cannot such a plan work here? And who is more fit to have charge of such an enterprise than our boasted Cooperative Society? Certainly railroad tickets are as much an article of competition as anything else. An agreement might be made with one of the lines competing for passage to each of the large cities. The additional traffic insured to each road, to the exclusion of others to the same point, will be enough incentive...
...your other correspondent's objection that the tickets would be sold to outsiders, could not a system of signatures, and the "rebates" of the late railroad war, be adopted? Some plan similar to this might be found practicable...
...inasmuch as it would be nothing less than an attempt to coerce the other colleges into her way of thinking.

At Amherst and Dartmouth many favor the plan, and think that a league composed of these colleges and Williams would be an improvement so far as they are concerned over the present league in which their "nines" have no show for first or even second place...
...seems, therefore, that an attempt to dissolve the present league would be successful at the convention. And surely this would be a far better plan than for Harvard to withdraw alone from the league in the hope that Princeton, Yale and Brown would follow her and thus leave Dartmouth and Amherst in the lurch. We certainly think that a smaller league than the present one is desirable, since it would result in a closer contest for the championship. This, however, in largely a matter of opinion, and we shall be glad to publish the opinion of any one who entertains...
...amateur and student of astronomy we must depend largely for the success of the plan here proposed. Many such persons spend evening after evening at their telescopes without obtaining results of any permanent value. Either no publication is made and the results are therefore valueless, or time is spent on objects that can be much more usefully examined with a larger instrument. Most commonly the observer has no special plan and spends many hours without result, while the same time might have been employed with equal pleasure to himself and results of great value collected. Those who have not tried...
