...that it might be, nor is it in every way judiciously managed; but we do think that the Union is successfully supplying what it is intended to supply, a good opportunity for training in extempore speaking. Still the evils which the Advocate and our correspondent so exaggerate, do exist in some degree, and, as far as they can be cured, they should be cured...
...Committee itself comprise the proposed jury - a suggestion which we cannot support - has led to a discussion of what the Conference Committee should be. Its present name certainly implies that it was instituted only as a deliberative and advisory body. As such, the committee certainly has excellent reasons for existence. Deliberation has its merits, and the power of giving advice its dignity and importance; but after all neither of these involves any certain influence, any decided power.

The members of the committee would be the first to deny the truth of such an inference. The practice exists - to a comparatively slight extent, to be sure - but still it exist; and as long as that is the case, it should be the aim of every true Harvard man to find some remedy which will remove it. It is absurd to shut our eyes to the evil because we believe...
