...perfect contact of professors with students; because the influence of such matured men on our uncrystallized character could not but be good, and also because I think we, the undergraduates, are rather inclined to let matters take their course, do not see fully or fully appreciate the far-reaching fore sight and careful wisdom that is changing Harvard from college to university, and are rather passive, not caring to co-operate very enthusiastically with the faculty. The proposed University Club would do great good by allowing undergraduates and professors to meet easily and often. But would it really offer...
...Harvard launch, to be used in coaching the university eight, was successfully launched at the south yard of the builders, George Lawley & Son, South Boston, yesterday forenoon.

Time, Harvard, 6m. 1s.: Culumbia 6m. 22s. Columbia now struck into a 44 stroke, only...
...editors who offer the prize, wish to defend themselves, knowing too well that the "wild eyed" poets need little incentive to write. Ever since the world began, man has been inclined to force his thoughts into poetry rather than write them easily in prose. The discount on poetry, there-fore, is very probably due to over-supply. But over-supply, as all students of Political Economy know, is the result of misguided, or misplaced production. This applies to poetry as well as to spades...
