Some objection will be raised on this compulsory feature of the plan, but a far-sighted man will find sufficient justification in the physical gains to be secured. When a man enters college it is by no means certain that he has reached the mature state of judgment at which he will unerringly choose the things best for his present and future welfare. The College recognizes this by directing his life to a considerable degree during the Freshman year. If this is required for his ultimate good in regard to studies and mode of life, it is even more necessary...
...amalgamation of the Illustrated into the CRIMSON, as announced elsewhere in this issue, cannot but have a very far-reaching influence. The CRIMSON has felt that it has reached a stage where it is capable of putting out an illustrated supplement every other week throughout the College year. The union of the two papers makes possible the fulfilment of the CRIMSON'S hopes with the aid of the Illustrated's editors, whose experience will be a valuable asset in issuing the new pictorial.

The men who were there made the roof of the New Lecture Hall shake. But there weren't enough of them. There must be more at the events this afternoon...
...this, there is one crowning advantage which it seems that the building of Beaune University by direct action of the United States War Department should aid in translating into practical fact. This advantage would be Federal supervision of education, with a view to its general improvement. We are far from advocating state subsidies or aids to institutions of learning, or paternalism or active central control or domination of educational development in any form. We are not hankering to take orders from any federal "School-master-General," But at the same time it is a significant fact that certain Republican Senators...
