...first feeling on hearing it suggested that the Tree Exercises be given up is of instinctive opposition. That Harvard should have to relinquish an old custom even if grown degenerate, and further the location which has become associated with that custom, seems at first sight must be avoided at any cost. Consider, however, what to the college man of today is an old custom. To the majority it is simply one which ruled in their Freshman year, so shifting is the college community, and so soon are traditions formed. To call the actual exercises around last year's tree...
...move entirely away from the old enclosure is, at first sight, an infinitely harder step to take than to modify the exercises in the same place. Even if the exercises are degenerate, the associations of the place still remain. But after all is not a move inevitable, and illustrative of the expansion of the College? Let Seniors look at the old place and consider the law laid down by the Corporation, and they will see clearly that there is no room for improvement over the ill success of last year. The courses which lie open are either to move...
...improvement of the Weld crews during the past week has been quite noticeable. The order in the various crews has been much changed about and even now their final make-up is uncertain.

Graduates and undergraduates alike were exclaiming against what they considered an outrage on the College grounds. Any architect might have felt that popular prejudice was against him from the start. We believe that Mr. Longfellow has dealt so successfully with the narrow space allotted him, that even the situation of the building will cease in measure to be criticized...
...twelve speakers will be allowed ten minutes each. At the conclusion of the trial the judges will select an even number of men, preferably six who will take part in the final trial. This evening the men will speak in the following order: W. A. Adams '98, P. G. Carleton '99, F. O. White '99, F. Woodbridge '98, R. W. Stover '98, A. M. Sayre Sp., R. T. Parke '98, W. C. Dennis 1G., J. G. Richards 1900, G. R. Stobbs '99, R. C. Bolling 1900, S. Brooks-Rosenthal...
