...another column will be found an article showing the cause and nature of the point recently raised by the Harvard Club in regard to a decision of the Board of Overseers. That the board has a right to exclude from its membership all graduates who reside outside of Massachusetts, is a conclusion which the Harvard Club does not accept, and whether it ought to have such a right is the point proposed to be decided. No one, of course, questions the diligence and fidelity of the present board, and it is only to promote the true interests of the University...
...craze dies out in, say, ten months' time) looks bright indeed. Fast men we have at all distances and at all gaits, and to the mile-runners and mile-walkers, especially, a capital chance is given of winning both fame and valuable cups, As may be recollected, this column, last fall, offered two cups of $25 each for any man who would beat 4 min. 50 sec. in a mile run, or 7 min. 40 sec. in a mile walk.

...another column will be found the last of three articles by a graduate on the subject of scholarships, in which he has favored a system of open scholarships. Since we received this third article a long letter from Mr. T. W. Higginson has appeared in the New York Nation, in which he takes the same ground. The arguments have been well stated, and it only remains for us to express our agreement with the views of these writers. They have certainly supported the side of the case which is taken by the great majority of undergraduates; in fact, we have...
