...foolishness that has been heaped up so industriously this year at various colleges. Community of interest and patriotic feelings no longer demand that these actions should be palliated and excused by their fellows; rather that decisive action should be taken against a longer continuance of this epidemic. The reform must commence from within and work its work by itself; the essential necessity for its success is a change of sentiment in such matters among college men. It is the duty of every college student, and every organ of college opinion, to speak and work for this change; only thus...
...again thrown into confusion. The consequences will be particularly hard on those prospective candidates for the Bowdoin prize speaking, whose work will be interrupted and system of instruction interfered with. The inconvenience and loss of time thus resulting from these two resignations seems to call for a practical reform in the methods of appointing the instructors in elocution. At present the appointments are merely annual, and the subjects of them feel that they are accepting their positions only till better opportunities for advancement present themselves. Harvard should, perhaps, feel complimented by the success attained by Mr. Riddle and Mr. Sargent...

...added to the bill of fare, especially, also, in consideration of the vile quality of drinking water provided at the hall.

But the suggestion as to the need of reform in providing better service and food for students in case of sickness is worthy of sober consideration, and many, to their sorrow, can bear witness to the truth of the statement that the students' position there "is simply wretched." A student at Harvard who cannot afford nurses and extra dishes when...
...England, stated by Prof. Bryce in his lecture on English universities, exist as well for Harvard to solve. (1) Rightly Mr. Bryce named the reduction of expenses for students as the first of these problems. It is difficult to see any way by which this reform can be practically secured for Harvard. On the contrary, it seems as though every year the necessary expenses of students go on increasing. That something will have to be done to remedy this evil before long is more or less apparent to all, although, we fear, too slightly appreciated by any except members...
