...adopted, if indeed the college is now at last ready for a final settlement of this much-vexed question. This plan is not altogether a new one; but we understand that it has received the approval of several members of the college government, and it seems, next to the scheme for a regular university commons, to be the most feasible of any yet suggested. It is that a contract be made between the corporation and some experienced and responsible person, by which the latter shall be allowed to conduct a students' dining hall in Memorial, furnishing (under certain restrictions) board...
...cooperative dining association; for it would seem a most useless waste of enthusiasm to attempt success in one, where failure had resulted in another. This for the reason that the essence of cooperation is cooperation, and it is difficult to see how cooperation is to be secured for one scheme, when it is denied to the other. "United we stand, divided we fall," would seem to be a necessary motto for the two representative schemes of cooperation at Harvard, and the result either way rests with the dubious factor of public spirit among her students. There has now come...

All who remember the valuable assistance rendered by the second eleven to the foot-ball team last fall will not hesitate to recommend a similar scheme to the nine. The substitute "battery" of the 'Varsity furnishes a strong foundation for a consolidated nine, and by the interest shown in base-ball matters by the university at large we can safely guarantee that the second nine will not have to go begging for suitable candidates. The Freshman...
...branches of learning, are sufficient evidence that this problem is present before the authorities-that is, "that ampler provision is required for teaching in a great number of more recondite subjects." (3) "Something should be done to enable the university to help original research." To a certain extent the scheme of an American school at Athens, in which Harvard has so much interest at present, may be said to be a move towards the solution of this problem. But it is doubtful whether improvement is so much needed in this direction as in what is comparatively the elementary portion...
