EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- In your columns there appeared, a few days ago, a communication from Professor James commenting upon the evidence as to the moral tone of social responsibility at Harvard, which was shown in the objections urged against a proposition to form clubs guaranteeing the honor of individual members. Prof. James thought that these objections revealed a very low ebb of effective moral opinion...
...Prof. Sargent, however, believes that the chief end of exercise is harmonious development, and the difficulty with boxing is that it has a tendency to interfere with other forms of physical activity. The intellectual pleasure which is derived from a glove contest is very keen, both to the participants and the spectators. The alertness demanded and exhibited, both for defence and attack, is absorbing, and, therefore, an interest in boxing is very likely to destroy all pleasure in other exercises that are essential to producing that harmonious development at which Prof. Sargent aims.

From twenty or more candidates at the beginning of January, the number has fallen off to less than the number...
...verse this number of the Advocate contains four pieces. "The Oak" is well-conceived; is very good in form. The writer has a peculiar bent toward this kind of simile and he handles it very well. Of even a more serious character than this short moral reflection is "A Song of Life and Death," which is a rather fine parable in verse. "Love's Arrow" and "The Rain" hardly deserve much comment...
