...classes in Chemistry A, will be temporarily met by the removal of the mineralogical cabinet to the new section of the Agassiz Museum. The change has been long needed, and the new arrangement will no doubt for a time satisfy the urgency. Ultimately, however, even the present accommodations will grow too small, and then a new building will be in order. Boylston Hall is certainly fast becoming out of date and inadequate. Already some inconvenience is felt in the laboratory accommodations and this is bound to increase with every new year. A new and finer laboratory is only a question...
...Ames tried for a goal from the field, but missed. He made a strong run a moment later and Saxe was hurt tackling him. Fearing took his place. The ball was near the line and Cowan broke through and made a touchdown. Score 35-15. It began to grow dark, and the spectators pouring out on the field hindered the game. Ames made one more wonderful run of fifty yards along the side line and Cowan took the ball over for the last touchdown. Goal, score...
...tariff has not built up the wool growing industry. The United States cannot grow all grades of wool. The finer grades of wool must be imported, and unless they are imported we must be contented with an inferior quality of cloth. The bulk of the wool grown here finds its greatest value when mixed with foreign wool; but since the tariff practically prevents our importing foreign wool, we are compelled to import the best fabrics from abroad, and the wool growing industry languishes. The wool grower who procured the tariff failed to procure protection...

That all class enthusiasm should be crushed out, however, seems far from desirable. We are a little apt in some ways to grow old too soon here at Harvard, and in the development of our individuality to forget that class enthusiasm when kept within proper boun has a distinct and valuable place to fill. The present series of class games seems to have served to revive in some degree this legitimate type of class...
...this kind should be made during a college course. They add both zest and tone to student life so long as they are kept within proper bounds and not characterized by disgusting abuses, but with them unfortunately these abuses are apt to come. Yearly, to be sure, they grow less and less, and this certainly is progress in the right direction. What is desirable now is that they should be entirely abandoned. There is no manliness in serving notice of a punch upon an unsuspecting freshman, and certainly as little credit in drinking at his expense. The excess that...
