Tonight brings one of those unfortunate clashes which sometimes occur in our University interests when so many things claim a man's attention that he hardly knows what to do. Each of the events which occur this evening has its own particular interest and value and of course the students will be drawn to one or to another, according to individual temperament...
...competitive debate for choosing the men who shall represent Harvard against Yale has first claim on the attention of the debaters in the University. It is all-important that this intercollegiate debate should be made as fine as possible, especially at a time when athletic competition is rather running away with us and when a good many people, absurd as it may seem, are actually judging institutions by their ability to play football.

To secure anything like a real expression of the wishes of Ninety-four in regard to her officers, there should be as many nominations as there are men who deserve recognition for the services they have done to the class and University. And then from these nominations...
