...editorial columns, though spiritually without blame, are not thoroughly alive even in treating new problems. They are disfigured, too, by such expressions as "broader leavening function" and "unconsciousably." Mr. Greene's "Harvard and the Nation" makes known much important truth; Professor Wambaugh's excellent exposition in the series called "Choice of a Profession" will scarcely help the Cincinnati delegates,--most of whom are already sentenced for life,--but to a hesitating Senior it may prove invaluable. More than a third of the Advocate is written by members of the Faculty. If the paper is to follow the CRIMSON in pressing...
...struggling along with but little support owing to the miserable facilities of our antiquated Gymnasium. It is all very well to revile the undergraduates for not going out early for the team, but anyone who has examined the place where they have to dress for practice cannot blame them very much for their apparent indifference. The locker rooms are dark, unsanitary and improperly ventilated; the lockers themselves are minute and crowded together without regard to the comfort or health of their users.

The opponents of the latter system say eighty cents per week. We will take their figures. 800 men then paid 80 cents per week too much, total $640, to be divided among the guilty transients and borne by them. A week's board, 21 meals...
Critics say that his prose is below his poetry, which is perhaps true; but no one can blame him when the conditions under which he wrote are considered. His prose was written in defence of the very life and liberty of the English people at a time when everything was at fever heat, and when it was hardly possible to write composedly and coolly. Though not as good as his poetry, Milton's prose has not received the attention due it by scholars; it has been slighted because it calls to account king, church, council, and common law. This prose...
