...build a tank here, similar to the one used by the candidates for the Yale crew during the past two years, will doubtless be hailed with satisfaction throughout the college. Permission to build a tank in Hemenway gymnasium has been refused, but there is no reason why one cannot be constructed in the old gymnasium on the delta opposite Memorial Hall. The building is now useless, except as a storehouse for all sorts of rubbish, and seems in every way fitted for the construction of a tank. How much such a tank will cost, it is impossible...
...vote of the Committee on the regulation of Athletics forbidding the Yale-Harvard game to be played at New York will doubtless cause many men in the college disappointment and even serious inconvenience. Nevertheless we cannot doubt that the action of the committee is for the best interests of Harvard athletics There are many things that make it desirable for the game to be played in New York; at the same time there are very serious objections to the plan. The question is a hard one to decide, and doubtless many men will question whether the Athletic Committee has taken...
...being significant of their political views, and therefore we hope that every one will observe the rule about transparencies and cheering for candidates. We would caution the men to preserve as perfect order as possible; in view of the disgraceful exaggerations concerning Harvard recently made by the press, we cannot be too careful.

We include in our condemnation the editors of the North...
...take advantage of this opportunity to hear an orchestra which rivals any in the country, when it gives concerts in our own midst. Certainly the most unmusical man could enjoy such a programme as given last night. It was not of the heavy classical compositions which the ordinary person cannot appreciate, but every selection was particularly musical, and interesting. The first number was the overture "Barber of Bagdad," by Peter Conelius. It was given first in Boston three weeks ago, and has had the most favorable criticism. It is unique and rather characteristic, but its form is not definite...
