...class about the wretched state of the air in Sever 11 during the lectures in Rhetorics. The instructor has often informed the class that on account of the heaviness of the air he found it impossible to continue his lecture to the end of the hour. This is an evil from whose effects we all have suffered, and it would be gratifying to see the college do something, or pretend to do something to remedy it. The lecture rooms in the old hall of the University of Berlin are even worse than those in Sever in this regard...
...field. In spite of this pleasant reminiscence the fact still remains that we have no one in college who can kick as Watkinson of Yale can, or as Moffatt of Princeton, used to. Kicking goals from touchdowns is not our great point either, as yet; but that is an evil that time may remedy, and after all it is first necessary to get the touchdowns. The next game that our eleven plays is with Dartmouth, this coming Saturday, and it might prove an interesting experience for every reader of the CRIMSON to come out and see for himself the possible...

...every way, should not be able to do so. The subject of expense at Harvard has been accepted, and with good reason, during the past few months, but while much depends on the students themselves, there are other circumstances wholly beyond student control, which tend to aggravate the evil. One is the lack of proper dormitories, the other, a cause which has always been felt, the impossibility of getting good food at low prices. The fare at Memorial Hall is now very good. Consequently the hall is full. But many men have applied for admittance and there has been...
...with political science, have reason to congratulate themselves that the efforts of Professor Taussig to have University 14 fitted up as a library and reading-room for students in political economy have been successful. The impossibility of working in the college library in the evening seems to be an evil that can not be eradicated, so the use of the room in University becomes an advantage all the more valuable. The only thing to be regretted is that the other departments have not been so fortunate as that of political economy...
