...expressions of opinion in the HERALD-CRIMSON. All the instructors in rhetoric unite in recommending this means of exercise for the mind, and advise all the students to take advantage of it. Then let there be a stop from this constant crying for material which we hear from the various papers. Let all who desire to improve themselves take advantage of their opportunities, and perhaps the just clamor against the opportunities afforded by the English department will be somewhat lessened...

No club stands better than the Harvard Athletic Association in either of these respects and it does not add to a man's worth if he lets his vanity get the better of him by trying to exhibit himself as a member of various organizations. In games where Harvard students are likely to be present as spectators they would like to know what men entered belong to the college. How can they know this, when the college and university are so large and the means of acquaintance so small, if all the Harvard...
