...some years the Faculty has objected to the extravagance of the promenade festivities, and this year their protest has had one good effect. The receipts for the boxes at the promenade concert were so great that it has been decided to refund the money on tickets bought by Freshmen, who will thus be debarred from attendance at the concert. Hitherto they have been allowed to sit in the gallery and look on and to take part in the supper, where their presence has always caused confusion. Further, they have been expected to buy at least three tickets each and have...
...possibility of failure in the end. Recent decisions of the courts have made it almost impossible to inforce the act, and unless its defects are remedied, it is doomed. The people have looked to this act as their great hope and will not witness its destruction without a protest. A refusal now to correct or at least to endeavor to remedy the existing wrongs so keenly felt, will carry us far towards the socialistic extreme. The common law and the statutes of the several states have failed to preserve to the people their rights against the railway corporations. The Interstate...
...wish to protest against the carelessness in editing which distinguishes the Harvard Index for this year. One example is sufficient. On page 112 it is stated that Hon Geo. Bancroft, 17; Rev. F. A.

...coaches. No one claims that Yale, which is smaller in number than Harvard, has better material. Now if Mr. Cook, for a sum of money or any other consideration, should go to Harvard and coach her crew, a storm of indignation would be aroused; and yet, with but little protest from any quarter, over twenty Yale graduates, some of them among the most prominent of our football players, and some even while coaching here, are selling to other teams the plays and tactics planned out for our team. Surely this state of things is radically wrong, and some steps should...
...wish to make a mild protest against the custom, so well illustrated in Fine Arts, last Saturday, of leaving a lecture without good excuse before the end of the hour. In the recitation in Fine Arts Saturday, nearly fifteen men went out one after the other, making much unnecessary noise, and disturbing not only the class but the instructor especially. Of course it is conceivable that there are times when it is necessary to leave a lecture before it closes, and such a case is exceptional and excusable. Now that we speak of this point, we might also refer...
