...engaged. If, after their wants are satisfied, any rooms remain that are not disposed of, the sub-Freshmen should be allowed to draw for them; they should not be allowed to draw for rooms which many men in college would be glad to get. It does not seem to us that it is anything but just to ask that men who have been in College for from one to three years, and have contributed to its support during that time, should have some advantages given them in a matter of this sort over those who are just entering...
...tried for, their class crews. Now that the rowing mania is in full blast there will of course be a large entry for these races, and many will enter who have not been rowing steadily, and perhaps not rowing at all. The fact of the races being "scratch" would seem to entitle every entry to a show for a seat in the boats, and to secure this it would seem to be fairer to draw the lots from a hat, rather than have the captains choose from the list in turn. Possibly the "lot" system may have been followed generally...

The criticism with which the editors of your paper saw fit to visit that new musical society did not tend to ameliorate matters between the "Arion Quartette...
...question is presented. In spite of what the writer says, we feel sure that the College papers have not misrepresented undergraduate opinion on this subject. As to President Eliot's reply to "T. W. H." being conclusive, we were not aware that there could be two opinions, but it seems that there can. Every one whom we have met, on the other hand, thought that the two letters in the Nation of March 13 were conclusive against the President. The writer of this article boldly claims that the present scholarships are not charities. If it can be shown that they...
