...well calculated, sooner or later, to foster the elements of discord. To operate successfully a regular "railroading" scheme under the old system required only three or four intelligent "spell-binders," backed by as few as 50 voters well trained in concerted cheering. Time and again the many, who could know very little of the respective candidates' merits, were won over merely by the volume of sound raised as each nominee's name was called. We venture to say that more than one class split can be traced directly to what seems to us now a very faulty system of Freshman...
Already steps have been taken in the right direction. We know of a recent instance where a major sport captain permanently scratched several promising athletes from his preliminary list on account of their being on probation. The result was as anticipated. Each of these men played in the game against Yale. They readily realized the truism that no man is absolutely necessary to any team. Proofs of this statement are within the recollection of almost everyone. But this policy of at once dropping from the squad men who are on probation and neglecting them until their standing is restored, should...

This opportunity is one whose importance men do not always realize while in College but which they appreciate more and more after their graduation...
There are some men who do not care to room alone next year and yet who have not made arrangements for a room-mate because they do not know what other men are also without room-mates. For the purpose of enabling such men to know what other men, as yet, have not arranged for room-mates there has been placed in Phillips Brooks House a "Senior Dormitory Book," and men who are looking for room-mates should enter their names and addresses in it. Men should also indicate the hours at which they may be seen. By entering...
