...education, that the tennis "shacks" want higher wages. What is Harvard coming to? Each hour almost the evils of strikes seem to be closing in more seriously upon her. It is hard to say where the next blow will be. Perhaps the goodies will call for more pay and fewer rooms. But it is to be hoped not. Any such activity among them would be far too abnormal, not to be attended with serious results. We will hope that with the "shacks" the fever is to stop. Perhaps it would be well if these charming companions were always...

If they could be read and digested by all college men, the next generation will find fewer educated men in want. The number of men to-day, who, with all the training of a university routine, could yet, if they chose, recite a tale of dreary hope against hope, is too large. Mr. Rawle evidently laments this fact, and his address, if appreciated, is certainly calculated...
