...look, said he, back upon the life of the ancient Venetians and Florentines in the times of their great progress in art we are apt to think of their life as particularly bright; perhaps even more so than our own. But they were greatly influenced by the Greeks and if we examine all art we find it more or less dependent upon the Greeks. The great features of the Greeks were simplicity, truth and beauty. And to this they added the ability to express the inward thought in visible form. We have more or less lost the spirit...
...Friday's issue of the CRIMSON the time for the start of the first hare and hounds run was announced as 4.25. Was not that a misprint? The runs have heretofore always been started at 3.30. Even as early in the season as this it grows dark at 5.15, thus giving no chance for a good run if started at the time originally stated. If 4.25 was a misprint it will doubtless be corrected. If not, will not the H. A. A. start the run at the usual time as it will insure a good run and enough men will...
...building so long. There are doubtless some who are spending money which they cannot afford in temporary imigings, and certainly all are hampered both in the enjoyment of their privileges and in their college work. In such a state of affairs surely the college seems bound to take action. Even if all the rooms cannot now be opened we see no valid reason why students should not occupy the rooms which are already finished...
...points brought out in President Eliot's address to the students last evening are well worth our attention. It is indeed too often true that college men think only of what the college may do for them, and forget, or at least disregard, their own duties to the college. What we need to do here is to exercise our freedom in a manly direction. After all, it is not athletics nor even endowments and advantages which make the college-but men. Thus it is that the present and the future usefulness and worth of Harvard must be largely...
...college custom is hardly so successful as the preceding editorials. The half way defence of "punches" is out of place in the editorial columns of the Advocate. That the rushes do no harm, indeed that they are rather good fun, is admitted but it is not probable that even this part of Bloody Monday Night will long exist in a place where all the tendencies of thought and action are as maturing as they are here at Harvard. It is rather a difficult matter to incite much class enthusiasm among fellovs who are made to feel more and more...
