But that they do generally keep up with the current drift of discussions of political principles to as great an extent as almost any other class in the community is, we believe, the case. In our own case, this abundant interest in current politics and party principles is evinced by the great popularity of the study of political science at Harvard, by the flourishing condition of such institutions as the Harvard Union...
...required number of names be secured, as there seem grounds to hope will be the case, it will be possible for Harvard once for all, and under the most favorable conditions, to make a practical experiment in the matter of cooperation.

As it is, seventy-five men have to suffer for fear one man's lamp will...
...practice and training, but we fail to find any pictorial or tablet records of them, except in one or two cases. All the events peculiar to in-door athletics, which have been so interesting and important a feature annually, under the auspices of the Athletic Association, seem to be almost entirely neglected in its records. A photographic group of the winners, as suggested, could be easily arranged for, and would serve to recall many pleasant memories...
