Again, the writer is very much at fault in his conclusions about the statistics used by the CRIMSON. He cannot understand why the recent gains of Yale over Harvard with respect to western men should be called accidental. Taking the Advocate's figures between 1878 and 1886, you will find that the number of men at Harvard from the west rose from 191 to 348-a gain of 157, while the number of such men at Yale increased from 288 to 410-a gain of 122. Perhaps the writer is not aware that Yale has made its extraordinary growth during...

Since that time Harvard has grown faster than Yale in every way. Our constituency in the west has grown until at the present day there are very few more western men in New Haven than in Cambridge. In 1878, the year at which the statistics start, we had less...

Twenty-five other colleges have a single representative...
...this University from the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Norfh Dakota and South Dakota, Montana and Wyoming territory, held a meeting at the rooms of Mr. F. H. Shaver, 5 Thayer. It was agreed that students from the states named above should form an organization to be called the "Western Club" for the purpose of encouraging young men in the west to come to Harvard College and of helping them to get settled when they get here. There will be no dues in the society and it is to be hoped that all students from the states mentioned will consider...
