...from customs is a tax on consumption, and all such taxes fall principally on the poor, being but little removed from a poll tax. Just taxes should be paid by property, and not by those least able to bear them. A genuine tariff reform should begin by correcting this wrong. If this were done there would be no protection left and no trouble-some surplus. The proposed revision of the tariff would not reduce the revenue in the least. All articles which do not compete with our manufactures are already on the free list, and no reduction could possibly come...
...steward should be dismissed or that expenditure in superfluous ways should be stopped. If a student can buy provisions for twenty-five men at a better price than the steward does for over seven hundred, and give better satisfaction over it withal, it shows that there is something vitally wrong at Memorial which should be overhauled at once...
Nothing is more painful to a delicately-strung nature-and the nature of all Harvard men are delicately strung-than to hear a woman confess that she has been in the wrong. If this statement is perfectly true, every reader of yesterday's CRIMSON must have suffered as he read the communication from Wellesley which we reprinted from University.

For instance, a student said to the president that the "organization of Memorial was fundamentally vicious, as the steward had an interest in making the board bad, as he got 50 per cent. of every order." This is "fundamentally" wrong. An officer of the Hall did not know that the directors could dismiss the steward without consulting anybody, yet all this is in the "Scheme for carrying on the Hall." Courtesy for other bodies often obliges the faculty to withhold information. When the faculty decided to make the freshman courses elective...
...present day an excellent play for two rushers to stand shoulder to shoulder in their line in front of their runner, and as he comes forward to open his path by turning away from one another at the instant he comes, the abuse of such tactics is wrong, and it never is, and never can be, good foot-ball to not only push and drag rushers out of the way, but even to butt, seize and pull to one side ends and halves who are running across to tackle. It is no exaggeration to say that this is, even...
