...scholarship of the college. The students would, directly or indirectly, take part in the election of nearly all the delegates. Secondly, the classes would be represented according to their seniority; for the offices of the athletic organizations and the positions on the several papers are mostly held by upper-class men. This is an important consideration, for there is need of experience in college matters, in order to effect an intelligent discussion of the topic which is brought to the attention of the committee. And yet by giving each class two delegates, no class would be entirely without representation. Thirdly...
...Jones' announcement that he will undertake an advanced course in elocution is of interest to a considerable number of upper-class men, especially those who entered the Boylston prize speaking last spring. The work of the class is to consist of readings from Shakespeare once a week, (Those who remember the character interpretation of Macbeth in Eng. 9 last year, will appreciate this,) and of public declamations fortnightly.

...work. Encouragement is what is wanted, and it can be given in no better way than by watching the nine practice. Each player is more likely to do better and play sharper if he knows that he is watched by the critical eyes of a number of spectators. The upper-class men will do their share, no doubt, but the chief interest must naturally be taken by the freshman class itself...
