...warpath and who is not merely a newspaper hero. Although the Cambridge Indian Rights Association, perhaps, did not have Harvard students particularly in mind when Sanders Theatre was selected as the place for the meeting, we assure the association that Harvard appreciated the opportunity to hear Gen. Crook. We hope that other Cambridge societies may follow this example in inviting other speakers to Sanders Theatre...
...should we not adopt this plan also? It certainly would be a very enjoyable feature, and would add much to the pleasure of the meetings. We hear from our brass band only too seldom. It is true that we may be rather late in offering this suggestion; yet we hope that if the matter is favorably received by the members of the band, sufficient time is left for practice before the winter meetings.

Everybody has some odd jobs to be done which have been...

This ridiculous and inefficient scheme was, I believe, brought forth by the conference committee, which (as a well known member of '88 very justly said) "was born sickly, and died young." Let us hope that this offshoot of its weakness, this evidence of its failure, may soon be removed...
