...officer. It seems to us that this is an inconsistency on the part of the Bursar. All persons who occupy rooms in the college buildings should be on precisely the same footing in respect to any rule as to whom they are to employ or refrain from employing. We cannot see what difference it need make to the Bursar whether the person is an instructor or not, so long as he occupies a room in one of the college buildings. It is a trifle suggestive that he does not interfere with these gentlemen. The spectacle of the President and Fellows...
...correspondence column this week will be found a letter complaining once more of the new rule of the Bursar, which requires students rooming in the College buildings to employ janitors instead of scouts. This subject is one that cannot be too often touched upon; for so petty a piece of tyranny, the amount of annoyance it may cause is very great. We admit that it is desirable that the College buildings should have janitors; but why students should be called upon to fill out their inefficient salaries is not so clear.

...would not urge haste in the preparation of the new gymnasium, if in consequence the appointments would be less complete. But, while the work of fitting up the new building is going on, why cannot we have access to the old one? Many students, who do not row or kick football, rely upon gymnastics for their exercise; and when the pleasant weather is over, many others will seek the gymnasium, if its "attractions" are held out to them. It would be greatly for the convenience of all such men, if the old gymnasium might be opened. By this means extra...
...that is, in a non-sectarian manner. Instruction in these subjects may very properly form part of a scheme of university teaching. But the function of a divinity school is to teach other things in addition to these, in order to prepare its students for the ministry. Its teachers cannot help teaching sectarian theology. . . . That part of the community which regards Harvard College as a national institution . . . cannot but feel a deep regret at what they esteem the grave error of its eminent president in his endeavor to strengthen a sectarian school which is connected with the College...
