...usual, several Harvard men are entered, mostly we believe, for sparring. Unfortunately, the sparring at our own winter meetings has not been particularly brilliant in the last few contests, and presumably the opponents of the crimson will expect a series of victories. In this we have every reason to think they will be much disappointed. If they are not, it will be because our representatives do not do what our observation of their ability has led us to expect...
...Bowdoin College student, who says he has been there, gives his views on the romance and profit of spending the summer vacation as a hotel waiter. He says the summer months are given the student to rejuvenate his mental faculties and tone up his physical constitution, and seems to think the one is not accomplished by association with the help usually employed around hotels or the other by sleeping in laundries or under bowling alleys. As to the financial success of the scheme he is equally skeptical, his experience seeming to have been that the cooks got the greater part...
...strict adherence to precedent is all very well in its way, but there is such a thing as carrying it too far. The way the Tuesday lectures are managed is perfectly abominable.

...reform of quite as much importance. This, too, relates to the conduct of lecture courses. The freedom with which the Cambridge populace crowd to lectures in Sever, testifies strongly to man's inherent desire to go to "free shows." The more we see of this intrusion, the more we think that some stringent measures should be taken to prevent it. If the lectures were intended alike for Cambridge people and for Harvard students, we would have nothing further to say. But we believe that they are not so intended, and that in the management of them Harvard should have first...
...think that the first resolution passed by the Conference Committee will commend itself to all. Heretofore dishonesty has, by the sanction of the faculty's rule, held much the same position as playing ball in the yard. It is a thing not wrong in itself; but merely improper in college. Striking out any rule about the matter puts the crime on the same ground as stealing books from the library. Stealing is everywhere an offence, and needs no rule to make it so. Men do not need to be told about that which by everyone everywhere is or should...
