...entering classes in 1876, 1881, and 1895 followed successful seasons in athletics. In the period from 1885 to 1894, when Yale teams and crews were winning pretty steadily, there was, to be sure, a considerable and almost continuous increase in the entering classes; but there was a like increase during the same period at Harvard, and we certainly at that time were not distinguishing ourselves in athletics. The experience at Yale therefore falls in exactly with that at Harvard to disprove any relation between athletics and enrollment...
Already something like this Columbia experiment has been tried here at Harvard unofficially in connection with certain courses, and has been found to work with fair success, when limited to "honor men." In History 1, to mention only one example, the evening collateral conferences proved to add much to the interest of the course. But the plan as applied to undergraduates in general has its drawbacks. If undergraduate "human nature" were perfect, or if all the distractions,--subtle and otherwise,--which lead to procrastination and alas! too often to the professional tutor, could be swept away, then the "conference programme...
Many interesting facts are revealed by a comparison of the business operations for the year 1911-12 of the Harvard Co-operative Society with other institutions of a like nature at several representative American universities. While the total sales made at the Harvard store for the past year practically equals the combined sales of the co-operative stores at the Universities of Wisconsin, Yale, Princeton, and California made during the same period, all of the above stores have declared a higher dividend than at the Harvard Co-operative. This may be accounted for in part by the fact that...

But perhaps a new generation, in reacting against the respectability of the moment, will bring back something like the older respectability that has passed away...
...play is a presentation of the conditions which corrupt politics. The Boss becomes the spokesman of the people he represents--giving them what they want because their wants are his wants--because he is their mouthpiece, and being like them, no better and no worse, he understands them. The scene is laid in a large American city, and the conflict is between the Boss who justifies himself to himself, and his neice who sees clearly the destruction that his altruistic intentions--altruistic though they are avaricious -- precipitate. But from blaming the Boss, she comes to understand that...
