...which we call the attention of the Faculty, who, although they themselves may be powerless to act on it, could, we feel sure, if so disposed, induce the proper authorities to make the change. It seems to be a mistake to oblige men to get back for the sole purpose of spending a Sunday in Cambridge. The amount of work which would be omitted if Saturday were included in the recess is very small; it is not commensurate with the hurry and unpleasantness of leaving one's home in the midst of the New Year's Day festivities. Moreover there...

This year the society starts out under a different system, and so far has done a much larger business than it did last year.

At present the instructors, though still members of the faculty of arts and sciences, will form...
...views in politics-the leisure class. This leisure class, those who are more than well-to-do, is gradually on the increase and it is yet to be seen whether their increase is an advantage. It is a poor ambltion for the wealthy young man to make pleasure the sole pursuit of his life. He has a poor soul who does not appreciate that in this nineteenth century is the grandest opportunity for good deeds and reform. The thing for the man of leisure to learn to know is first, that leisure means work, and secondly, that he must have...
