...Union management has up to the present received comparatively few applications, we take this opportunity of bringing the matter once more before the University. Men who purpose residing in the neighborhood of Cambridge or Boston should not fail to avail themselves of the scheme through mere oversight. Even if they do not patronize the Union regularly, they will find it a pleasant place to take their friends for a meal. They will also be doing their part to support an institution which is the monument of Harvard public spirit and Harvard democracy...
...real objection to such a scheme--beyond the "vested industries" argument--appears to be the difficulty of choosing a manager for a Freshman team "upon his past record," of giving reputations made at schools their true measure.

It is not a stiff affair and the only chance of its being so this year is that the members of 1909 are too uninterested and lax to go. It seems to me that this is a great mistake and a great pity; for the committee...
...large number of cows, sheep, pigs, and hens at the Bussey Institute, as well as growing all the necessary vegetables there; the teams which brought the produce to Memorial and Randall could carry back all the refuse, to be used in feeding the stock. It is just such a scheme which brings profit to some of the large hotels in Boston. In addition the Corporation could thus greatly help a school of practical farming at the Bussey. Such a school is much desired in the eastern part of the state
