...that time we were decidedly opposed to the dismissal of Col. Bancroft, and deplored what seemed to us the hasty action of the athletic committee. Since then we have had no reason to modify our opinion, which we think is that of the majority of the students. We sincerely hope that, after a full discussion of this matter, the committee may be induced to make some concessions, as was done in the report on the abolition of foot ball. In order to present to our readers all possible information on this question, we have written to several gentlemen who have...
...faculty has upheld its athletic committee, and inter-collegiate foot ball has been prohibited. This decision of the faculty has not been unexpected, of course, but there has been nevertheless considerable hope that the friends of foot ball within the faculty, aided by efforts of the students, might succeed in giving the latter an opportunity to rid the game of its objectionable features.

For the present let us live on in the hope that this theory of incentives may have some foundation...
...print this morning a description of the Society for Political Education, in the hope that some of our readers will be led to look into the matter and join the society. It seems to us that the society ought to have a large representation at Harvard. Its object, certainly, is an excellent one. One of the difficult things nowadays, is for the ordinary citizen, who has not devoted himself to the study of political science, to understand the political questions of the day. The newspapers are, for the most part, too superficial or partisan to be good instructors...
