...zeal and enthusiasm. The standard of debating has been generally good, and the members are earnest and sincere in their efforts to do well, and to return the defeat of last year. When it was first proposed to hold an intercollegiate debating contest, we looked upon the plan with disfavor, and it must be confessed that the first debate did not tend to lessen this feeling materially, though considering their inexperience, the Harvard speakers did themselves credit.

...think that the positions of both the college authorities and the New Harvard Union officials are very plain. If Mr. Irving gave an address in Sanders Theatre at a time when regular recitations were being held, there would be a conflict upon which the authorities must look with disfavor, especially as such an occurrence might be cited as a precedent in future requests.

OUTING.If the editors of Outing only knew it, they are accumulating for their magazine a great deal of disfavor by the endless continuation of that eternally pointless "drool" known as "Harry's Career at Yale." Patience ceases to be a virtue after the fiftieth chapter has been printed and the persistency of the publishers looks to us like obstinacy. It is time Mr. John Seymour would withdraw from the public gaze; let him retire and digest the notoriety his story has brought...

...different societies and clubs, the system of examinations; and he dilates at some length on the advisability of granting the degree after three years' work, -a discussion which all Harvard men will enjoy. Professor William J. Stillman's paper on "Journalism and literature" will be read with disfavor by the journalist and with more or less pleasure by the litterateur. He advises no young man with literary ambitions to go on a daily journal unless the literature of a day's performance satisfies his ambition. The key note of the whole article is struck in the concluding sentences,- "Study, line...
