...debate as a whole was very interesting, and the spirit with which the labor problem was discussed shows that Harvard men are not entirely indifferent to the cause of the laboring man. The general trend of the argument was that the Knights of Labor would not promote the welfare of the working classes; that on the concentration of so much power in the hands of men not thoroughly versed in economic science would be a perpetual menace to our free institution...
...regular members, Professors Langdell and Laughlin, and Messrs. La Monte, '86, and Snelling, '87, were present by invitation. The first business of the meeting was the consideration of the resolution reported from a drafting committee, that the Conference Committee recommended to the faculty the introduction of an elective in general law, based upon Blackstone or Kent.

With such a limitation in mind we are willing to say, with the Princetonian, not that time will, but that time may show Princeton "the most advanced college of America." If she becomes this, however, the Princetonian in spite...
...list, while Hollis 1 was considered the least desirable (it has been altered since then, so that it now has a pleasant southerly exposure), hall, floor, and end exposure were the chief considerations in ranking the rooms. A redistribution took place every year and the system depended on the general principle that if a man had a good room one year, he must be content with an inferior one the next. The choice was made by classes, beginning with the seniors, the man who had occupied the most undesirable room the year before being allowed to choose first...
