...Montreal is interesting both on account of the rules governing eligibility at these universities and because both allow the voters to send their ballots by mail if they prefer so doing to depositing them in person. The rather elaborate organization of the McGill Corporation is not of immediate concern to Harvard graduates, except so far as it provides for alumni representation, but it is described in full in order that the relative extent of that representation may be shown...
...college stories are not better than they are." In the closing words of this article, the field of the Advocate is well defined by its comparison with the other College publications: "The pages of the CRIMSON," the writer says, "are interesting as a literal record of facts that concern us; the pages of the Lampoon, as a warped reflection of such facts, as satire, which, though often crude, is based on fact.

The United States Census deals only with the statistics of wages relating to manufacturing but even here the method used is faulty and is a makeshift for the correct system, which is impossible of consumtion. The problems of collecting railroad wage statistics are also perplexing on account...
