...farther than he can his own honor and future pleasure. But we venture to say that to almost every Senior the crime of speculation begets a penalty awful enough to keep him from it whatever may be his moral inclination. New Harvard men should take this to heart and shun the speculator who comes out from town with his pockets lined with gold. Once blacklisted, all the gold in the world cannot get them tickets to Harvard games again, and no amount of repentance can return to-them their honor in the eyes of loyal Harvard...
...term service in the navy. In both the navy and army there is need of a large Reserve, and of educated men in the service in order that there may be competent men prepared to act as officers in the Reserve in case of war. College men now generally shun both the army and navy, even when they have a longing for military experience, because they dread a four-year term. The need of a special short term of enlistment for college men was pointed out by Major General Leonard Wood in his lecture on the army in the Union...

Numbers count in cheering as well as enthusiasm, and a half-filled cheering section is nearly as useless as none at all. Let every...
Tulin, in closing the direct debate, said: My colleagues have shown you the marked tendency in American colleges to shun the free elective system, which has proved so unsatisfactory at Harvard, not withstanding its restriction by many limitations. When a few weeks ago the Harvard Faculty instituted a new degree--an A.B. with distinction--which requires that a student shall pursue his courses in a single department under the supervision of the Faculty, they stamped work done under special direction as of higher value than unrestricted study. What more eloquent testimony than this illustrates the tendency away from the free...
