...develop the religious life and interest in philanthropic work of the Eastern colleges and schools through an interchange of ideas and contact with leaders of thought in the field. Delegates are quartered in tents and dormitories and a baseball series, a tennis tournament, a track meet, a big fourth of July celebration, followed by an enormous bonfire, and inspiring religious meetings addressed by leaders of philanthropic and religious thought are some of the creatures of the conference. The Harvard delegation will be under the management of a representative committee, organized from the Philips Brooks House societies...
...notice in Saturday morning's CRIMSON, that a victory is ascribed to Johnson over Bryan in Friday's straw ballot. I wish to take issue with this misleading statement. As a matter of fact, Bryan received a big majority over Johnson from the Democratic voters. It is ludicrous, to say the least, to count Republican votes for Democratic nominees, unless a Democrat is given first or second place. To force a Republican to vote for two Democrats is something quite apart from actual politics; nor are Democrats supposed to vote for Republicans in an actual election. The mere fact that...

In many instances he must leave home before New Year's day in order to comply with the strict registration requirements. It seems a short-sighted policy. This year we believe that the vacation might well be extended to Monday, January 6, thus allowing everyone to spend the full holiday season at home and rounding out the vacation to the usual university length...
...Stadium several formations were tired, ending finally in a gigantic "H" of torches, covering nearly the whole gridiron. The fireworks, while hardly sufficient to make a good showing in so large a space, added to the beauty of the scene. West of the Stadium the bonfire, a big, substantial one, was started as soon as the fireworks were exhausted. Gathered around the fire, cheers were given for "John," and "Fair Harvard" was sung just before the march back to the Yard was begun. After a march through the Yard the procession was led to the John Harvard statue...
