...thanks of the students are due to the Athletic Committee of the Faculty for the pains and trouble they have taken to find out the falsity of the charges made against our athletic system. The report is a full, fair and interesting one and should be read by all. From the very beginning of the athletic controversy, we have expressed our confidence that the Faculty would consider the question fairly and impartially, and we are glad to see that our confidence was not misplaced. We trust that the recommendations of the Committee will be carried out, and again we thank...
...find that it is seven years since I first took the charge of the morning service here-after the resignation of our friend Dr. Andrew Peabody. The service has interested me from the first, as well it might. It was the daily religious service most distinguished in Christendom, as I think, and most remarkable for all those qualities of religious service which give distinction to any regular function. It was more fully attended, I suppose, than any regular meeting of men for worship in the world. Nothing could be asked more devout than the manner, and, on the whole, more...
...very unpleasant to find that many of the students of the college do not seem to appreciate the great work which the graduate committee have been doing in behalf of Harvard boating. Their impressions seem to have been derived entirely from the newspapers which have chosen to disparage the committee on every possible occasion. The newspapers have more than hinted that the crew itself does not feel confidence in the committee. It may not be out of place, therefore, to state here that the crew puts perfect confidence in the gentleman who are coaching them; and whether the race...
...First as to candidates. At Harvard we are told 251 prefer Blaine and 413 Cleveland. So far as it goes this certainly tends to confirm the statesmanship of Mr. Blane's letter from Paris. Turning to Yale, we find there 70 Republicans and 13 Democrats. No expression of preferences for individuals has come to us from Yale. We may seek solace against this adverse "straw" in the fact that Cleveland was elected in 1884, although the vote of Yale was then also against him. It is also worth noting that the Democrats at Yale have recently made great gains. Since...
...these college figures there is proof that the lines are drawn differently on partisan and economic issues, and that, as regards the tariff, the leaven of reform is doing good work. Thus, at Columbia, we find fifteen Republicans and fifteen protectionists. That this parity of numbers is merely a coincidence, however, appears from the fact that, although there were only eight Democrats represented in the vote referred to, there were twenty-one free traders, or six more than the total of Republicans. At Yale the protectionists fall 20 per cent below the Republicans, and the freetraders outnumber the Democrats...
