Several members of the Conference Committee proved remiss in their duty yesterday. Non-attendance at the meeting surely cannot be excused. Those who were present labored under the great disadvantage of being unable to judge with accuracy the actual state of college opinion, on a question which must rest on college opinion as a support. The proposition of trial of cribbers by students, either by those who are members of the Conference Committee or by a jury specially chosen, is well calculated to correct the impression abroad regarding cribbing, but such a system to be successful must be backed eventually...
...statue. The writer thinks that in this way the responsibility and odium for giving information could be taken from one man and laid upon many, while the management of the matter would still be in the hands of undergraduates.

There is, however, one cause for which we willingly ask support, and we hope our words will receive the attention due them. The reading-room still lacks funds with which to meet its actual expenses. This institution seems an exotic, but surely it should find at Harvard its native soil. It is suited to Harvard's needs, and could be made invaluable. These possibilities seem destined never to be realized. Appeal after appeal has been made, with only partial success. We do not expect...
