...point of gaining our longed-for lights, when the authorities for some unknown reason gave up the idea and the money was returned. I think I am not wrong in these assertions, This being the case, the only step remaining is to persuade the overseers to give their consent. Now why not use that democratic privilege, petition? Our prayer petitions were gravely considered and they were finally successful. Why then, should we not petition the overseers for lights in the library? I would have a systematic canvas of the college, as in the case of the prayer petitions, and when...
...morrow the Glee and Banjo clubs leave Cambridge for their western trip. It was only by the most persistent efforts that the faculty finally gave their consent to the trip, and even then with some misgivings. We feel certain that the confidence reposed in the members of the clubs will not in any way be abused, and that the organization which will represent Harvard during the holidays will reflect credit upon the college.

When, however, other Cambridge streets are used indiscriminately this mutual understanding is violated by us. Cambridge people have, of course, a right to ask that the men should...
...announcement that the athletic committee has given its consent to the employment of a professional base-ball player as trainer and coach for our Nine during the coming year will not be a cause of surprise to those who know that the most liberal and progressive members of the faculty have openly favored the plan during the past few years. The three members of the faculty selected to represent that body on the athletic committee, after a patient and thorough investigation of the subject, have been convinced from the numerous letters received from former captains of our base-ball nines...
