...Historical Society, is certainly encouraging to that organization. The only drawback was the lack of room, which clearly shows that Sever Hall is not the place for the remaining lectures of the course. Why a lecture in Sanders should be such a rare treat to us we fail to understand. The principal reason that suggests itself is the fear of the lecturer being unable to distinguish his audience among so many empty seats. But this fear need not trouble the succeeding lecturers before the Historical Society as the success of the course is assured...
...from the special crews of the undergraduate classes. But, aside from the correctness of this criticism, why should Harvard not be copied by other colleges?

In our issue of the morning preceding the recent conference we took occasion to criticise some portions of President Eliot's annual report treating of college athletics as vague and non-committal, and indeed those passages taken by themselves still seem to us non-committal and vague...
