...made a mistake, and a bad one too. Luckily we have discovered it in time to enlighten the ignorance which caused it, and by following our advice, all evil consequences may be avoided. Our present freshman class has done an unheard-of thing; it has neglected to join the H. A. A. We quote the following extract from the by-laws of the Athletic Association. "No member of the university shall be permitted to witness any sports unless he be a member of the association." To make no mention of the handicap meeting, it will thus be seen how near...

It is simply the lack of means coupled with the accessory idea of lack of instructors. The English department...
...proverb that "charity begins at home." It the President would only look around at the poor Harvard students who have been here year after year, and yet know him only through the newspaper reports of what he is doing elsewhere, we feel sure that he would condescend to enlighten the heretics, at home instead of laboring abroad. With this suggestion and faint remonstrance, we would express the hope that the President will deem the invitation a standing one, and accept it when the labors of his position are less exacting...
