President Lowell divided the opportunities of the university into three categories, the opportunities for friendship, for study, and for work in other activities. Of these the President emphasized scholarship as most important and requiring most emphasis. Statistics show that efficiency, intensive application, is the most important element in scholarship of the highest order and that time expended is not proportionate to results attained. Any man who spends six hours a day on studying can be among the first scholars of his class, and this estimate surely allows ample leisure and freedom for other pursuits. It is inevitable that all cannot...
...infusion of the element of keen competition into undergraduate literary work is promised by the commendable plan of a tri-collegiate prize to be instituted by the literary magazines of Harvard, Yale and Princeton. The CRIMSON has more than once advocated the establishment of a literary prize to be competed for by undergraduates of Harvard and Yale, and has pointed out that the stimulus of competition resulting would do a great deal to raise the standard of literary endeavor in both colleges.

...Spelman writes entertainingly of the opera of the future and presumes that his discussion is based on a "careful examination of the facts of the case." But we question the completeness of his knowledge of all the salient facts. After placing melody as the "divinest element" in music, he continues: "The next most important element in dramatic music is dissonance. The more acute the dissonance, the more intense the emotional effect." We are not sure what he means by this, but take it that he has reference to passages containing complex harmonies and unusual or complicated progressions. But therein...
