...with their fellow-students outside of the narrow circle into which they may have happened to fall. The result is that they tail to receive the benefit of the broad and cosmopolitan influence that association with men of various types and coming from all points of the country must expect. A university club would obviate this, and besides affording social enjoyments, it would bring both students and instructors into close relations, and would make them feel that they were one body united by common interests and aims and under one "alma mater...
Attention again is called to the competion now open for a place on the editorial board of the CRIMSON. Although many men have offered articles for publication few writers have shown themselves worthy of an editorship. No man need expect an election because he fills the CRIMSON waste-basket. Many men also have expressed a desire to be considered candidates for the board but have as yet not offered work sufficient to justify the board in their election. Clear, concise writing and a liberal endowment of commonsense with a determination to work are necessary above all. We speak thus plainly...

At any rate the college will have in either case the satisfaction of knowing that nothing will be left undone...
...therefore no exaggeration to say that, when due consideration is given to the time and pains bestowed upon themes and forensic work, upon required rhetoric and the commencement parts, the work accomplished by Professor Hill and his assistants has been extraordinary. Our correspondent ought not to expect that one man can create a department, above all when that one man has, as Professor Briggs intimates, encountered bitter opposition to his work of creation from those who would be naturally expected to second his efforts. To attack Professor Hill therefore is doubly unjust; it is unjust because it is entirely unjustifiable...
