...suggestion made in your editorial of Monday that the college library ought to take at least two copies of the more prominent magazines and reviews is an excellent one, and if carried out would be a benefit to the college. The classes here are many of them very large ones, and when an article in one of the magazines is referred to by an instructor there is a rush to the library and the man who is lucky enough to get there first takes the magazine and keeps it with true selfishness for the full period allied-seven days...
...this afternoon at 3.15. I desire, through the columns of the CRIMSON, to urge every graduate of the B. L. S. in college to be present and support the team. It will give impetus to a newly developed interest in foot-ball, which, if kept up and developed, must benefit not only the athletic interests in the school, but sooner or later, those of Harvard herself, to whom the Latin school sends so many students every year...
...mind that we again call attention to the use of reserved books in the library. Far too often complaints are made that books supposed to be reserved are nowhere to be found.

It is a pity that men who desire to have the benefit of a good gymnasium during the winter months should be prevented simply because there are not enough lockers to go around. If possible, a few more should be built in the basement of the gymnasium, even if one of the bowling alleys had to be taken out to make room for them. Before the weather becomes so disagreeable as to put an end to outdoor exercise...
...Butterworth, '89, closed for the negative. Suppression is not needed. The Standard Oil Company has not raised prices, but has lowered them to the same point that competition would have done. It has adapted the supply to the demand, and has proved of incalculable benefit to the industry. The spirit of the times leads to trusts. They sprung up in all directions as a natural growth. The opposition comes from small tradesmen who have been undersold by the lowered prices, and from demagogues who wish to make political capital. Any attempt at suppression would be a blow at modern trade...
