...glad to make her freshman race a quadrangular affair. Pennsylvania would have to make some alterations, however, in the way she draws her men for the freshman crew. At Columbia we draw our candidates entirely from the freshman classes in the Schools of Arts and Mines. At Pennsylvania we understand they are taken from the first classes of all the different departments, graduate or undergraduate. It would be manifestly unfair to race crews, drawn in such a different way that it would give one college almost three times as many men to draw from as the other...
...prayer be honest, it must include submission of our will to God's. When, after every prayer, we can sincerely say, "Thy will be done," and model our lives accordingly, then, no matter what our misfortunes and our desires, we can understand the true peace. Let no day pass without supplication, and every day will be blessed with peace...
...past nine o'clock in the evening instead of closing at eight as at present is an excellent one. It is strange that the needs of so large a postal district as that of Old Cambridge have not brought about this change before.

Now, however, the mail does not leave Cambridge until half-past nine and as the clerks are now in the office beyond that time there seems to be no good reason why the office should...
...lack of suitable rowing machines very seriously impedes the progress of the indoor training of the class crews. This is a matter which the public spirit of each class should not allow to remain as it is at present. We understand that of the $240 necessary to provide good machines like those used by the University crew, the management of the latter will contribute $100 if the class crew managers will raise the rest. The small amount required should easily be raised at once by the three upper classes...
...threaten war merely in defence of Venezuela; but we are told that we must rally to the defence of the "Monroe! Doctrine." This doctrine is now more than seventy years old, and it is its spirit rather than its letter with which we are concerned now. As I understand it, I hold it in the highest respect; but I frankly confess that, viewing the utterances of 1823 in the light of 1896, I can see nothing in them which makes them in any respect applicable to the present case. Nothing is plainer in President Monroe's famous message...
