Many appeals for money appear annually in our columns. Our readers may have become so accustomed to them that a new one will be without effect. 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...
...ribs from their oblique position. In ordinary healthy respiration the current of air passes in and out of the lungs through the nose, not through the mouth. It is a serious fact that men breathe more by the action of the diaphragm than women do, in whom the intercostals appear to do a large share of the work of respiration, so that the upper part of the chest rises and falls more in the ordinary breathing of a woman than it does in that...

Therefore, for the best success of Harvard journalism, it seems to the present writer that in time a fusion of the "Lampoon" and the "Advocate" will be necessary. The result will be a paper devoted to the lighter side of student...
...matter. It may be another case of the blind leading the blind, if we venture to make any suggestions. Nevertheless, it may be well to call to mind a few well-known facts. The pursuit should be adapted to the capacity of the man. Trite as this statement may appear, perhaps there is none that is usually less regarded in the choice of a profession. All about us we see men striving to become what nature never meant they should be. Accountants, who might succeed if they stuck to that for which they are fitted, become starving "poets...
