...symposium, which should have been called "Harvard's attitude toward smaller colleges" must strike the average reader as a rather far fetched and simple question to write six pages on. A. D. Sheffield develops the only idea of any originality, and the attitude taken by the editorial might almost be called narrow-mindedly intolerant. The best undergraduate contribution is an unusually thorough criticism of Thomas Hardy by R. P. Utter. Three short stories by T. S. Hardy '99, E. W. S. Pickhardt '98, and P. W. Long '98, with some rather perplexing sonnets by B. Brooks 1900, complete the number...

Now that the full significance of the committee's action has come to be understood, it is safe to say that not only the Faculty but also the students unanimously approve of it.

Comparing the records made by the various schools, English High seems to have the best chance of winning, with either Worcester High or Worcester Academy second. English High will have the same team it had in the indoor games last winter, when it won so easily. Hopkinson School should also make a good showing, though its strength lies in two or three men and not in the team...
...party now being organized here, although its main purpose is that of hunting, will be in a country (Baffin Land) almost unknown to the scientific world. Save for a few whaling vessels it is unvisited the year round. The isolation and apparent inaccessibility of this land would seem to make the coming trip a particularly interesting one as well as an opportunity seldom to be taken advantage...
