...President Eliot's last report to the Board of Overseers, he deals at length with two questions of great importance to the undergraduates. In regard to three-year graduation, the President believes that the regular College term should be reduced to that period. Such a change would raise the standard of labor in College, prevent the present confusion of the fourth year and "bring earlier into their professions the best trained young men." These results would undoubtedly be well worth accomplishing, but the benefit and pleasure to be derived from spending four years in Harvard College are not things...

...Class Day Committee has decided to hold the Senior Spread again next June in spite of the financial failure of these spreads in recent years. For some reason or other, this part of the Class Day festivities has become decidedly unsuccessful, and the financial loss is almost as great as the total cost of the annual Junior dance.
