...will doubtless be impossible to bring this organization at once into a position as strong as that of the Cosmopolitan Club of Cornell. The inertia of a new idea will operate to retard its progress, as well as the absorption of the natural leaders of such a move by other interests. But, if started, this society should not occupy the position of numerous other bodies which have monthly smokers as the only excuse for their existence. It should be so conducted that newly-arrived foreigners will feel that an active interest is felt in them by more than the College...
...field coach a member of the last team, or, as in the rowing system, a trained professional, instinctively able to pick men and get the best work out of them, will be a step towards victory over Yale. But even such a coaching machine as Yale's could not bring about our victory over a college which can put not one eleven into a game, but almost two.

As in former years, the management of the teas will be in the hands of a permanent executive committee made up of certain members of the Faculty...
...Harvard Engineering Society the topic of an organization of alumni engaged in engineering was broached and we now learn that its formation is practically assured. Surely there can be nothing but advantage to be gained from an association of this sort. Its close affiliation with the Engineering Society will bring the men leaving College to engage in engineering work into closer touch with the graduates who have preceded them, and if the organization be properly conducted the novice will feel that he can look for advice to older men who have begun where he is beginning...
