EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: Passing in at Memorial today I noticed but one forlorn umbrella standing in the racks in the transcept, while inside the dining-hall I found a number of umbrellas ranged along the walls beneath the coats and hats of their owners. The reason of this condition of affairs is plain. The racks stand outside, unprotected and alone, and men will not risk exposing their property to the danger of theft or easy misappropriation by leaving their umbrellas here. Too many cases have already occurred of umbrellas disappearing and of their owners being unable to regain them. Thus...
...Appleton Chapel is a rather dingy and sepulchral place, contrasting poorly with Yale's cheerful and richly sculptured Battell Chapel. It is known to everybody that from time immemorial students of every college have looked upon daily perfunctory prayers as the bugbear of their lives. To stand over a young man with a policeman's club and compel him to worship, hardly conduces either to the glory of God or to the student's religious edification.

Young Mr. Allen is himself likely to have a career no less brilliant than was his father's, if ability, scholarly attainments and a pleasing address obtain their due.

The main point of difference between the systems at the two universities lies in the requisition at Cornell that a candidate for honors in any subject must be in good standing in the other courses not directly belonging to his honor scheme. That is, a candidate for honors in mathematics, for instance, must not only be a man with marked mathematical ability, but must have a fairly good stand in the other subjects of his college course. This does not seem...
...YALE.The stand taken by the Courant is eminently sensible, and its statement of the reasons for the proposed move are, we think, the best yet made. It hopes that owing to the fact that considerable money has already been expended at Amherst and Dartmouth for next year's nines, the usual games will be played with those colleges this year. "It is thought," it says, "that by restricting the league to Harvard, Brown, Princeton and Yale, much more interesting and well-attended games will result. And if each nine plays a series of three games with each other nine...
