...your edition of May 12 is an extract from a recent letter in the Harvard Daily HERALD in regard to "co-eds.," or lady students, at Cornell. I read the letter with great interest and I would like to add to it. For three years I have been constantly in classes, lectures and laboratories with our lady students, and it seems strange that any one should be surprised because they "listen to the same lecture as the men, recite in the same classes," etc. I must confess that my first experience was rather a novel one, and I relate...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: There has appeared in the columns of your paper a communication from R. B., attacking the Glee Club in a manner that requires answering; and it is perhaps well that the answer be made by one who, while himself not a member of the club, is yet interested in its welfare. To answer the last and least important objection first, the Glee Club, to my certain knowledge, was never asked to furnish a quartette at the Pi Eta theatricals. Individual members were approached and were finally obliged to refuse to sing on account of the bad condition...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: I was very much surprised to see the venomous and uncalled for communication about the cricket team in last week's Crimson, and wish here to say a few words in reply.

Most of the team have been very faithful and regular...
EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: In your issue of this morning you intimate that the college has not been as generous in the support of the Glee Club as that organization had a right to expect. On that very point I beg leave to differ with the HERALD. Instead of the college having failed in its duty to the Glee Club I think precisely the reverse has been the case. The Glee Club this year has been much below the standard of former years. It is ridiculous to suppose that a university as large as is Harvard cannot produce a better club...
...HERALD was quite justified, it now appears, in instancing the example of the Princeton faculty as one which our own faculty would do well to follow in abolishing the more objectionable features of the anti-professional rules. The report that the Princeton faculty had taken this action was first made on the authority of the New York papers. One of these soon contradicted the report as premature, but now it is stated that the faculty has taken action in the matter by temporarily suspending the rule against playing professionals, which is as far as its power extends, and by proposing...
