...student stockholders would be composed of one Harvard undergraduate, two Harvard grad students, one M. I. T. undergraduate, and one M. I. T. grad student. They would serve for no set term, and would step down when they no longer held the same student status. The remaining students would fill the vacancies after consulting deans and student leaders...
...about the Boston community instead of the lifestyle incantations of the Avatar's godly Mel Lyman. Compared with the hippie radical press around the nation, the Mole of a year ago would still be a vast improvement. In Washington, D.

The purpose...
...youngest class that we turn to fill their place; and it may not be out of the way, in this connection, to say a few words regarding the duties we expect them to perform. It becomes more evident every year that success at the bat and oar is only to be obtained by persevering and enthusiastic labor. Let no petty or local dispute interfere where the honor of the University is at stake. The careless and cynic spirit should be frowned down; and everyone should seek to contribute, in the way most suited to his abilities, to the honor...
