Will you allow me to express my regret at the action of the mass meeting on Tuesday night? Such vacillation proves how little public opinion at Harvard is worth. As matters now stand the undergraduates say to any rowdy or ldiot who may happen to think that daubing red paint is funny: "Have your joke if you must; we will pass resolutions of indignation-but don't let those frighten you; for we will pay all the damages of your vandalism, but will not allow you to be molested." This, in effect, is what the meeting of Tuesday means. When...

...owing to 'reckless riding' or 'deliberate intention' of a Harvard entry in the bicycle race. We regret very much that the unfortunate accident in the bicycle race should be attributed to such causes, for the simple reason that there is positively, no ground on which to base such a stand.

It showed Harvard men as thoroughly indignant, unwilling to recognize the perpetrators of the outrage as belonging to themselves, and determined to do their best to rid the college of the presence of such vandals. By rescinding their vote Harvard students have...

...subscriptions to the Harvard fund were made on condition of the whole sum being raised by June 1. The committee, however, do not doubt that the subscribers will willingly allow the sums subscribed to stand over till the autumn, when they will doubtless be called for. But as a number of the subscribers are seniors, or students who may not be in Cambridge next autumn, the committee request such persons to send their subscriptions in cash or check to the chairman this month without further notice, on condition that the sums paid will be refounded in the autumn in case...
