...lost the confidence of the country: Nation, Vol. 51, pp. 375, 393, 413.- (a) It is a notably corrupt party in its leaders Quay and Dudley: N. A. Review, Vol. 150, p. 706; N. Y. Herald, Nov. 3, 1888, p. 8.- (b) Corrupt methods to gain power: N. Y. Herald, October...
...almost exclusively by the Harvard Co-operative Society and one large recitation room for the music courses. The partitions of the upper floor will be almost entirely taken out and the forward part converted into one large lecture-room. There will be other alterations down stairs so as to gain more space for lecture and recitation rooms.

Alterations here also will be made so as to give the Society more room for its rapidly increasing business...

At the same time, while our meetings are suffering, our athletes take part in these many outside contests, and gain such good training that our athletics in general do not suffer. Such seems to be the real explanation of the apparent paradox of a failing interest in the winter meetings and an increased success in athletics...
...opponents to this line of reasoning, those who are for the change, would seem to gain a point from President Eliot's observation, if it be accurate. He says that the Western colleges will soon be practically as highly developed as our Eastern colleges; and that, consequently, men will stop coming to the Eastern colleges from the West. The opponents to the proposed reduction at Harvard claim, as we have seen, that such would not be the result. If they are willing to acknowledge so remarkable a growth and future career for our Western colleges, they must draw conclusions diametrically...
