...Senior year. This is due probably to men's attempting in their last year to take more courses than they really have time for, and being obliged to drop them near the end of the term. In those courses in which they continue their work, it is of far superior quality to that done in the Freshman year. This shows that the serious purposes of college life are brought more and more clearly into view toward the end of a student's courses. It coincides with the statistics of dropped men's returning to their classes, to prove that...
...Shooting club will hold their first shoot on the new grounds at Allston this afternoon. The club has worked hard to give the men a better place to shoot than Watertown, and it now only remains to be sure whether or not the men will take advantage of the superior facilities offered them. As nearly everyone knows, the new grounds are just off New Harvard St., a continuation of Boylston St., and are only about twelve minutes walk from Harvard square. This easy accessibility will allow men who have afternoon recitations to go over and get an hour or more...

...altogether, and perhaps not at all. The greater part of the blame certainly falls upon the men who withdraw. If they enter merely to have their names printed in the program, they are influenced by a mean motive; if they back out because they are afraid of some presumably superior athlete, they are influenced by a still meaner motive. They ought not to sign unless they intend to compete, and after signing they ought not to withdraw. It does not seem advisable to us even for men to enter merely "to oblige the association." What the spectators expect...
...conservatism, while stocks represent enterprise. The two great aims of the railroad reformer is how to allow each of these two farces, conservatism and enterprise to assume their relative positions in the best manner possible. The speaker then spoke of the building of the Wisconsin Central road to Lake Superior by eastern capitalists some years ago, their large bonded debt, the attempt of a few of the largest stockholders to depreciate the value of the stock and buy it up at their own price, and their failure. Mr. Abbot thought too that a railroad foreclosure was a barbarous...
