...motive surely is an insufficient one, not to say selfish, and shows a lack of college spirit. To be sure, the Union conducted the canvass to a certain degree upon its own account; yet it has committed a breach of courtesy in keeping the college so long in suspense. Even if it purposes, also, to open the canvass again, there seems to be little reason why, considering the interest, the results already obtained should not have been announced. The CRIMSON certainly bears the Union no ill-will. On the other hand, we hope for it a most successful year...

The names of the vice presidents will be sufficient to create respect for the movement, and the graduate speakers have already made their reputations as exponents...
...first meeting of the year of the Harvard Total Abstinence League took place last evening in Sever 11. The meeting was called to order by the president, D. C. Torrey, '90, who stated the objects of the league and expressed the hope that all members of the university who were in sympathy with the work of the league even though not total abstainers themselves, would join it. He then introduced Rev. Francis G. Peabody, D. D., who said that the question which was before them was the principal social issue of the times whether in religion, in politics...
