...Yale News editorially makes an appeal for candidates for the Mott Haven team, saying that, as "Harvard won the cup through five second prizes" last year, the inferior men ought to be encouraged to try as well as the first prize men. Passing over the circumstance that next year there will probably be no first prizes lost through mismanagement, as was the case with us last year, the call of the News for the services of every capable man whether a fine athlete or not, should find an echo in our columns, in behalf of our team...
...recent issue of one of the daily papers of Boston, a prominent professor in the classical department of the university, published an appeal for money to support the American School at Athens. For years we have heard from all sides in answer to our re-current plea for various improvements in the college buildings, the cry of "no money." And "no money" it will doubtless be, until Gore Hall falls a mass of ruins upon the spot which it has failed to enlighten. We feel some-what like the friends of our religious home missions when told of the success...
...text books. The money spent for books is quite a large item in the college expenses of a poor young man, but there are rich students, on the other hand, who throw away many of their old books, or have them in their rooms when they graduate. If an appeal were made, and a person appointed to take charge of the matter, hundreds of discarded books would gladly be given to the cause. The books thus obtained, together with others purchased with money given by benevolent persons, could be given or lent to any needy student who applied for them...
...undergraduates of Harvard College are making another appeal to the governing bodies for the abolition of compulsory attendance upon prayers. Their petition presents the argument for the change very forcibly, pointing out that voluntary attendance would necessarily betoken genuine interest in the religious exercises, while the present sense of compulsion produces indifference, if not hostility, to the observance. They also urge with force that such compulsion of undergraduates is inconsistent with the entire freedom conceded to students in the scientific school and in all other departments of the university, while the abolition of compulsory attendance upon Sunday services at church...
...Boat Club needs money. It is in debt and its expenses are increasing year by year. We feel that appeal has been made on the purse of the students until further aid from that source cannot be expected. The alumni of the college should feel that they still are Harvard men in all athletic contests. They share in the regret and glory of Harvard's defeats and victories, and an appeal to them for money should carry with it a sense of obligation...
