While I am complaining, not without reason, I trust, against abuses of privilege, I wish to add an emphatic protest against college "sponges." Doubtless there are occasional times when earnest men do not, for a sufficient reason, bring their text books to a recitation or lecture; in which case it is entirely proper to ask the opportunity to look on with a neighbor in class, or glance over his lecture notes at a later time. But when a man systematically fails to bring his text-book to the class room, or cuts one lecture out of every three, and then...
...order. Mr. Weld has built and given a boat house to the undergraduates of Harvard, and while he evidently does not wish to exclude all other members of the University, yet the preference must be given to those who are not yet graduated. It is presumed, and with good reason, that the boats will be used to their full capacity every pleasant afternoon and the rule to which our correspondent has found objection was made to prevent any graduate from taking the place of an undergraduate who might wish to use the boats. If in the future it appears that...
...association will conduct annual race-meet on the same general plan as the one held last year by the H. B. C.; will arrange team races with all the principal colleges, if possible (and there is no reason to doubt that it will be); and will hold semi-annual road races, and frequent hare and hounds runs, open to the university. It will also probably establish records, and give record medals, for other distances besides those governed...
...classes-direct and indirect-although these two classes are rather vaguely defined even by political economists. An indirect tax is in many cases an incorrect tax, for it enhances the value of an article far beyond the original value of the article and the tax. For this very reason, there is a close connection between indirect taxation and pauperism, since the poor are obliged to buy in small quantities commodities upon which indirect taxes have been levied, and the price of which has been raised correspondingly. For a small quantity of a commodity always brings a proportionately higher price than...
...announcement of the foundation of a prize for the best thesis by a candidate for honors in Modern Languages and English will be greeted with pleasure. The more numerous such prizes can be, the better, as they undoubtedly stimulate candidates, and form an additional reason for doing good work on theses that are now perhaps to a certain extent perfunctory. At Yale the Hugh Chambertain prize for the best entrance paper in Greek is considered a great honor. This new prize at harvard will have a similar effect and will also have the advantage of causing the production of good...
