...temporary wooden stand, capable of holding nine thousand people, is being erected across the open end of the Stadium, and will be finished in time for the Yale game on November 25. There will be thirty-five rows of seats. The majority will face directly up the held, but at the sides, where the stand joins the high ends of the Stadium, a large number will face diagonally inward in order that the view may be clear at every point. At the sides large openings will be left under the structure for the passage of the teams and spectators...
About a year ago the Committee was called upon to face a new situation. It is a futile waste of time to discuss now the wisdom of building the Stadium. Few, at least of the undergraduates, would maintain that the gift of the class of '79 should have been refused by the Committee, not to say the Corporation, on account of the additional expense it has entailed. Thanks to this expense, and to the feeling of the Committee that one of its first duties is to pay its debts as rapidly as is well possible, our surplus has practically disappeared...
...thoroughly agree that "if we are to face our dormitory situation manfully we must prepare to take heroic measures." If matters are wrong now because of it it is probable that they will be still further wrong with each year in which we hesitate and temporize. The dormitory situation must be met manfully.

...many an eager, restless, hesitating, youthful life. The story of the higher education is the passage from the compulsion of the schoolroom to the liberty of the University. The story of life is similar. You do the shut-in task and it opens into the larger opportunity, you face the limited duty and the larger duty discloses itself just beyond. But what is the way of life that opens thus from door to door? It is nothing other than religion, for it is the view which opens through the door of religion that gives a meaning to the world, that...
...rich student to see all the games played by our varsity team. These games are part of University life; they are played by our fellow students and friends, and we all want to see them. We ought then to have this privilege at the lowest possible cost. In the face of a $20,000 surplus and the fact that the tendency has been to reduce this item of expense to members of the University one looks in vain for some justification for the Athletic Committee's action in imposing this additional tax. We all know there is a heavy debt...
