...especially in the discussion of the live political questions of the day. There is certainly room here for such an association, and an abundance of first-class material from which to form it. All that is needed is a proper nucleus; and as the Crimson first broached the subject, it would be entirely appropriate for its editors to call a meeting of those interested in the project. The association should be open to members of the three upper classes and of the post-graduate courses, should be large enough not to be cliquey, and should admit only those...
...conversant. The reason seems to be that most of the electives are too technical, and deal too much with details to offer attractions to the specialist in some other course. To remedy this, a few general courses, which should aim to give only the salient features of the subject, might be introduced...
...this measure is proved by the number of students who are taking advantage of these electives this year. There is a similar but greater need of such a course in Chemistry.

Chemistry 1 is justly a popular course, but those who take it think that enough might be left out to make it count only two hours, and yet attain the same result. It seems unnecessary to the general student to follow every element into all its combinations when only...

It establishes a precedent which, if followed up, will inevitably tend to lower the tone of all college organizations, and subject them to slurs similar to those cast on the honesty of professionals, while it offers no advantage to offset the harm it is sure to do. Whatever college resorts to the expedient of playing professionals on their team, should not expect to enter for an amateur championship...
