...That familiarity has dulled contempt, is no reason why climate-harassed throats should be further insulted by the steady cloud of dust and filth that rises from the pavement of that street, and from the now unmentionable bridge. The Athletic Association certainly owes the civic powers a considerable debt for police protection and supervision on the field; it is only a fair suggestion that it return the compliment by a nominal daily investment in the effective use of an oil-cart on the street near the field. Or, if it is not within the province of the Association to provide...
...present forms of government; Theodore Roosevelt '80 advocates direct legislation. Many of the men who have been closest to the ex-president and who greatly admire him personally have found it impossible to subscribe to the doctrines of his Columbus speech. We owe Mr. Roosevelt a great debt for awakening the public conscience in this regard to the illegitimacy of many large fortunes. But the reforms which are necessary can be accomplished best if they are enacted by a conservative representatives body, rather than in the heat of popular passion. The conservatives of the country believe that President Taft...
With incidents quite as frequent and action and action quite as rapid came Lady Gregory's play, "The Jackdaw." A jackdaw, it should be premised, is a bird.

Memorial, unlike Randall, has a large debt, and for the coming year the Corporation has agreed that it will not expect the Hall to earn more than about one-quarter as much as it has been expected to earn this year. This should result in giving decidedly better board to the members of the Hall. What it really, amounts...
...class of '79 paying $25,000, and the Athletic Association assuming the balance. The $19,000 was actually paid, by the Corporation, and the association is to repay the amount in sums not exceeding $5000 a year. The first payment was made last fall, leaving a present debt of about $14,000. The permanent payroll, including coaches, trainers, ground keepers, janitors, boat men, and the office force, is over $35,000. There are about 30 men regularly emblorsil in connection with all branches of athletics, although during the football season, and during the month of June, the number is increased...
