...increased activity. Our representatives made a grand showing last Tuesday in New York and in the hope of winning a new triumph, a road race with the Institute of Technology has been arranged. What we should value in such a race is not a favorable result, but the stimulating effect which the event will have on our bicyclers. Here is an opportunity for Harvard to regain some of her lost laurels. See to it that the chance is not neglected...
...nevertheless, the disquisition would still be one of the gravest of falsehoods: it would be a falsehood because it is meant to convey the impression abroad that the whole system of Harvard is wrong, that from its very position the University must have a fatal effect upon the characters of large numbers of men within its walls, that the attitude of the faculty is one of connivance rather than of active warfare against vice.

The latter is a few words of valuable advice which deserves...
...answer the old question "Is life worth living?" Its delicacy and thoughtfulness make one regret that it is not more elaborate. The idea of "Misericordia," is good and the style is clear and well-worded, but the brevity and disjointedness of the treatment detract much from the general effect of the story. Of a very different style is the story of "A Crime," from the French. It is vivid and picturesque, though the plot-a dream of a man who contemplated murder-is too horrible to be pleasant. The best article in the number is "Is in a Seaport Town...
