...work done by the various technical societies, the CRIMSON'S petition for electric lights for the library, and a quotation from Mr. Joseph Lee's letter to the Boston Herald, which has aroused so much comment recently. The last editorial is a little unfair in its anxiety to be candid. It says, speaking of the social standing of real students: "Little distinction is made between a man who studies hard and at the same time develops other sides of his life, and the man who does nothing but study.

...Athletic Supplement" of the June Monthly, Mr. W. K. Richardson has an interesting article on "English Athletics." Mr. Moorfield Storey and Mr. G. W.

That the society question is a live one at Yale still is shown by the fact that both of the senior statisticians have asked for candid opinions on the subject. The alumni, too, have taken an interest in the matter and have been working to remedy the evils. One of the greatest troubles has been that there were so few desirable societies that some of the best men in the class have to "get left" on account...
