There is not a single "H" man returning to college next fall who has won his letter in the field events and there is only one "H" man in the hurdles. Yale is hardly better off; they lose first-place men in four of the field-events. We were beaten this year because we were pitifully weak in the weights and jumps. Now we start again on an even footing with Yale and there is absolutely no reason why we should not develop men just as fast as they do, unless it be the fact that Harvard men are simply...

The college thus came to occupy the contradictory position of a university and of something less than a university. The consequences soon disclosed themselves. As soon as the demands of the public for a better medical and legal preparation became imperious, the complications began; for the medical school course was gradually lengthened to five years, and the law school course to three years, with a possibility of soon becoming four years.

While appreciating the charitable motives of the gentlemen who distribute neckties, etc., to the clamoring mockers in Mt. Auburn street, those of us whose studies are interrupted by the pandemonium cannot help feeling that such philanthropy is misplaced, and that the above-mentioned ties would have looked better in the Phillips Brooks House clothing collection. These thoughtless fairy god-fathers are not only adding to the predatory insolence of their parasites, but are seriously interfering with their 'neighbors' chances of two C's and a D at the finals.
