...been suggested that the classes as units contribute these by sections, each section to be designated by the number of the class which gave it. The total cost of replacing all the old wooden seats by steel ones is estimated at $22,000, each section costing $500. The idea is to make an appeal to the classes having dinners the night before Commencement day. As there are some fifteen of these each year, the whole amount could be raised by this method in three years, and the "class' sections would be rallying points for graduates at all the big games...
...made to excuse a defeat before it was received, nor was the ability of the crew underrated. Indeed we believe that Harvard has a better chance to win the boat race this year than for many years past. But we also think that there has been a too general idea that the crew would win this year as a matter of course; and, believing that over-confidence has been a fruitful cause of previous defeats, we simply wish to point out that the crew has worked under conditions this year which put it at a certain disadvantage, and which will...

It is, for obvious reasons, too late to form such an organization in what is left of this college year; but, if every student gets some idea of it as proposed, and has a chance to think it over during the summer, it will be much easier to go about its formation in an intelligent way next fall...
...consciousness that, in us men, is the originator." The subject of the symposium, which should have been called "Harvard's attitude toward smaller colleges" must strike the average reader as a rather far fetched and simple question to write six pages on. A. D. Sheffield develops the only idea of any originality, and the attitude taken by the editorial might almost be called narrow-mindedly intolerant. The best undergraduate contribution is an unusually thorough criticism of Thomas Hardy by R. P. Utter. Three short stories by T. S. Hardy '99, E. W. S. Pickhardt '98, and P. W. Long...
