EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-Cannot something be done to insure sending a four-oared crew to the intercollegiate regatta to be held at Saratoga on July 4th? The hotels have offered free transportation and accommodation, so that the cost of such a crew would be comparatively slight. The necessary expenses would be somewhere between $400 and $500, and surely such a sum could easily be raised for the purpose. The objection that shall immediately be made to sending a crew, is that there would not be time to shake a four together after the Yale race, and that any other crew...
After the few storms of the season thus far, there has been a notable lack of care employed in keeping free from snow the sidewalks and crossings leading to Memorial. We therefore call the attention of the "powers that be" to this fact. There are probably no walks as much traversed as these, and yet they have been allowed to remain covered with snow or ice in slippery condition, and comparatively uncared for.

It is proposed to elect two editors from the freshman class for the ensuing half-year and additions to the number of sophomore editors are hoped...
...with a certificate of excellence. The other patterns the freedom of the German universities (which do not correspond to our colleges), would treat the student as a man responsible only to himself, permits him to be present or absent at his choice, and otherwise regards him as a free and independent American citizen. The one argues that the student must be trained to enter the world through close supervision and with immediate motives in view; the other believes that he must learn before he enters the world that he must depend on himself. The tendency of profesionalized teachers...
