...plan of turning the Union from a debating into a legislative body. It will be remembered by those who attended the early meetings of the Union last year, that this scheme was proposed and, after some discussion, was voted down. The arguments against this innovation seem to us as valid now as they were then, and, moreover, the experience of nearly a year has shown that the present system is successful. It is hard to see the advantages of a college legislature, in which imaginary bills, committees on imaginary business, and all the intricate measures of a legislature, are imitated...
...source of great regret to many that the Athletic Association proposes holding no field meeting this fall, owing to the expense incident to putting the track in condition for use; and although a glance at Jarvis will easily satisfy one that their ground is a perfectly valid one, still we cannot but feel that the existence of such an objection is, or ought to be, quite unnecessary. The employing of a man to take care of the track during the summer months would result in affording opportunity to our athletes to begin training as soon as the term opens...
...seem wholly needless to call attention to the fact that all are interested in the use of the bulletin boards, and that it is therefore undoubtedly desirable that notices should be allowed to remain where they can be easily read, so long as they are valid; but notices of importance have repeatedly been covered, of late, before the date of the occasion for which they were posted, by other notices of subsequent date. This obviously should not be. Nor, on the other hand, should notices be allowed to remain on the boards after losing validity, as is still often done...
...value of honors is somewhat lowered; but it is not easy to appreciate the writer's reason for considering this an evil, - that the Harvard honors will degenerate to the level of the numerous prizes of "small-sized colleges." Even if this were true, it would be a valid objection only if the purpose of honors were to furnish a subject for undergraduate boast; but, as a fact, they have a definite and much more sensible work to do, - they are intended to furnish inducements to study. And the question is not whether the new honors are in themselves more...
...scheme" to which I have referred is not to be regarded as a still valid constitution, nowhere that I know can a clear definition of the powers and duties of the officers be found, and not even in that scheme is there any provision for the direct or indirect responsibility of these officers to the Association. The annual election of officers, from a mistaken but widespread idea that any government of students will be overruled by the influence of the President or the Corporation, is not viewed as an event of any importance, and we have therefore great reason...
