...well known educational writer in France, and a commissioner from the French government to the exposition at New Orleans in 1884, writes one of a series of articles on our educational institutions ten pages, of which are devoted to a flattering description and very high praise of Harvard. We cannot, on account of its length, quote the article, although it would be interesting to Harvard students to see themselves as a foreigner sees them. M. Buisson describes the buildings and grounds, the courses and the general life here. He then goes into a very exhaustive study of our system...
Again the locker question! Why is it that there cannot be a few more lockers in the gymnasium? Why is it that fifty men are deprived of the most valuable privilege which the college can offer, - the use of the gymnasium? For this is the case, inasmuch as men cannot exercise in their ordinary clothing with benefit, and clothing cannot be left in safety, except under lock and key.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: - I think that D's criticism of section 27 of the "New Regulations" is very just.

If we cut those examinations we endanger our standing for the year, and if we do not cut them, some of us cannot get home till after Christmas. The Christmas week and the New Year's week, both entire, ought to form the recess, because they are universally recognized as holiday weeks. But if the faculty thinks best continue college exercises into one or both of these weeks, the exercises should be made...
...concert in Sanders Theatre last evening was fully equal to the usual good work of the Symphony Orchestra. We cannot let the opportunity pass of giving our hearty support to these performances. They are an addition to the course of study at the college, and at the same time they create a certain pleasant diversion to the monotony of the regular work. A large number of men attend them when given in Cambridge, who would never think of going into Boston, although they really enjoy the music when they are once in the hall. But, as we all know, many...
