...glad to see that the Harvard Art Club shows signs of life, and apparently intends to become useful as well as ornamental. We understand that the club has set one evening a week for a social meeting, and also that an effort is being made to have occasional lectures by well known gentlemen. In such a large university as Harvard, the number of students who take a lively interest in art must be sufficient to form a flourishing club, which should not only be of real service in keeping alive an artistic spirit in college, but should also be successful...
...250th anniversary of the college, it is absolutely necessary to have a larger number of students march than have ever done so heretofore. For some inexplicable reason the list of signatures from the classes of '89 and '88 are much smaller than in the two lower classes. We understand that there are some men who intend to take part in the parade, yet who have by a series of delays omitted to sign.

We understand that one or two games between Memorial Hall tables have been arranged, but why not make this practice universal...
...status among the students, the effectiveness of the committee will be proportionately diminished. It seems that the proper remedy would be either to give the committee more power, which seems by far the most advisable solution, or to dispense with its services altogether as to make the students thoroughly understand that the committee is nothing more than a debating society where undergraduate opinion may be expressed without reason or responsibility, for if one's schemes are to have no effect, the wildest kind of phantasies will be indulged in by conservative members even. The test of practical application would make...
