...Senior Class dinner, Friday last. We would be glad to quote from this oration and to bring before those who were not able to be at that dinner the words of truth which were greeted by almost unanimous applause-there were a few present who took the attack on "snobbery" to themselves and appeared disgruntled that they should be handled so unmercifully-but that is impossible. We can say only that the burden of the speech was, "Restore Harvard to her rightful position in athletics by destroying the present vicious law of compensation." Dinners are times for joviality, and last...
...streets Sunday evenings. To appeal to no higher motive, this is one way, not perfect or complete, but certainly not visionary, of grappling with those tendencies in city life, which are a growing menace to the community. It is eminently fitting that Harvard should lead in such an attack; and for us as individuals, here is a chance to show by active work what Harvard does for her students. The committee on ushering and on getting the audience will have need, when the time comes, of every man who is willing to help. They will give early notice...
...story set forth in the best possible shape to read "A Study of Aaron Burr." A strong plea, written in an ironical vein, is urged for the limitation of vast individual fortunes by Mr. W. W.

It consists in part of an attack upon Professor Sumner's of Yale new book "what Social Classes owe to each Other," a very terse sketch of the position of the millionaires of to-day towards their more unfortunate fellows, the laborers. A very entertaining account of the unsettled state of Texas and California during the winter...
...publish in another column the long expected attack upon eighty-eight for the action taken at their class meeting in regard to the Columbia race. Our New York brethren betray a tolerable amount of spleen, but their arguments contain too great an "element of weakness" to be convincing. They also show considerable ignorance of the science and requirements of boatracing, where the propelling force is manually performed. In asserting that a "crew in proper training and condition should be able to row two (four mile) races on consecutive days," they lay themselves open to challenge. The Columbia men have turned...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- In last Saturday's CRIMSON appeared a very vicious and wholly uncalled for attack upon the instructor in English 12. The writer complains because the criticisms on his themes are pithy and to the point-because the instructor gives his real opinion in a few words, of poor and hasty work. Is the writer of this bitter invective so thin-skinned that a few short, sharp criticisms penetrate to his very marrow? If so, it proves the thorough efficiency of the instructor; if not, Mr. "English 12" has no right to complain. The instructors at Harvard take...
