...William E. Russell Club of Boston University has submitted the following question to the "Senior Senate" of Harvard, to be debated in Isaac Rich Hall, December 7: "Resolved, That the United States should use every means to maintain the integrity of the Chinese Empire." The choice of sides must be decided on by the Senior Senate within seven days. The trial to select a team for this debate will be held on Nov. 19 at 7 o'clock. All those intending to speak must leave their names at Stoughton...
Last year the project of having a skating rink for Harvard students was not proposed until last in the year, and the construction took so long that when the rink finally was completed, the majority of the students got little use out of it. The practical failure of last year's rink was due to several causes. In the first place, its small size restricted its use almost wholly to the members of the hockey team. In the second place, it was built on reclaimed land, which caused the water to run out and the ice to crack in consequence...
Mackay, right half, has not had much chance to show what he can do, but before he was injured he ran low and hard, and was effective in interference. He has not yet mastered the details of defensive play. Lindsay, right half, runs too high and fails to use his arms. He shows the same fatal slowness on the defensive. Parker, right half, is very slow in recovering fumbles and poor in interference. His running with the ball is at times good, but he fails to keep his feet when tackled
...most complete tables for tracing the courses of prices are those of the London "Economist," Sauerbeck's Reports, and of the United States Senate. In all these tables index numbers are used to condense the results into a relative statement. The "Economist" makes use of the quotations on twenty-two articles, and uses as its standard of comparison the average prices between 1845 and 1850. The great objection to the method of the "Economist" is, that in considering the twenty-two articles it gives equal weight to commodities which are very unequal in importance as, for instance, wheat and indigo...
...Aldrich Report of 1891 in the United States Senate and its sequel, the Report of the United States Bureau of Labor, are the only examples in the United States of the use of index numbers. In the former, which follows the trend of prices from 1841 to 1891, the standard is the average price of the year 1860. The sequel to the Aldrich Report, "Bulletin 27" adopts as its basis the prices of 1890-91. But despite the lack of uniformily in construction, all of these tables show approximately the same trend of prices...
