What I would suggest is, that the assignments be made on a general list of all four classes ranked in together. Then an inferior man would no longer be screened by the inferiority of his classmates. Special assignments are, on the whole, unjust; every needy man in college can work hard enough to be entitled to aid, and because a man who won't work hard, happens to be the grandson of a member of an old class, or a distant relative of a founder of a fund, he is not by that any more worthy of help...

The only instruction to-day in oratory in that college where its other professors have creditable salaries, is given by a young man called to the inferior office of an instructor on a salary less than that paid to an ordinary butler at the West End.

...from the case. It hardly seems possible that the freshmen do not realize the necessity of good, earnest work, thorough training and enthusiasm. The Harvard nine will, without doubt, be one of the strongest their freshmen have ever put in the field. Their battery will be little inferior to that of the university team's, and a large number of men are trying for every place in the field, while all are in strict training." We do not doubt that our freshman nine will relish the interesting information about themselves which the News here gives, but we trust they will...
