...Again, Turgot's efforts to bring about a gradual development of political liberty in France were of no avail against the ultra-conservatives and the Revolution followed. Even in the case of our Civil War, Henry Clay and other statesmen saw it was inevitable that slavery and freedom must conflict many years before the crisis came and they sought to avoid it. But revolution sits North and South opposed them and war followed...
...present conflict of dates between Class Day and the boat race is allowed to continue there will be a feeling of bitter disappointment in the Senior class Most of us have never seen a 'Varsity boat race and are accordingly particularly anxious to see this one. Moreover, Class Day itself would be necessarily more or less of a failure owing to the absence of a great many Seniors and of a large proportion of the under-class men whose presence would be essential to the success of both Tree Exercises and Senior Dance...

Moreover the date has already been agreed to by the three crews, and even...
...events. The date of the Yale baseball game could probably be made a day earlier without much difficulty. There is also, however, an objection to this plan: it is doubtful if the Faculty would permit Class Day to be held any earlier on account of the resulting conflict with the last of the examinations. For the past three or four years the final examinations have extended through Wednesday of Class Day Week. If they should have to be so arranged this year, the Faculty would almost certainly object to having the examination, the Yale game, the Senior dance...
