This is manifestly an anomalous state of affairs, and steps should be taken to re-organize this club at Harvard, since, as the CRIMSON showed not long ago, there has been a gradual decrease in the number of Exeter men coming to Harvard in the last two years. There are many causes of this decrease, not the least among which is the seeming indifference of old Exeter men at Harvard...

Then came the union of one man with one woman for life, but against this the great...
...Stacey Brown '92, fresh from his recent triumph at New Haven, entered vigorously into the spirit of debate. He said he did not rise to bespeak a hearing for any wild or fanciful utopian scheme, but for a gradual and practical adoption of a nationalistic form of government. He dwelt particularly on the injustice of the present form of government, and introduced a bitter comparison between the millionaire and the workingman of today...
