Such a report is plainly apt to do damage; the fear of higher tuition fees would tend to keep many men from coming to the University. They would reason that all safe calculations of expenses must be based, not on the present fees, but on those likely to be established. The fullest growth of the University demands both that there be no increase in fees, and that there be no fear of such increase...
...editorials of the last Advocate are not as good as those of the past few numbers with the exception of the second. The first is an attempt to encourage the college about the prospects of our crew, but would tend more naturally to discourage us. The second is a very pleasing study of the law of compensation as illustrated by the actions of the West End on Harvard street.

It seems probable that first place will go to Worcester High. This school had no trouble in winning the indoor winter meeting, its nearest competitor being Worcester Academy.

But Europe tends constantly to become more and more one community, and we tend to become Europeans instead of merely Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Italians, so whatever aptitude or felicity one people imparts into spiritual work, gets imitated by the others, and thus tends to become the common property of all. Therefore anything so beautiful and attractive as the natural...
