...willing to meet any representatives whom the others might send. Two years ago, Harvard limited the number of graduates to three without asking Yale or Princeton to do the same. We simply felt that it was for our own good. Statistics do not bear out the statement that the mere presence of graduates produces unfairness. Since intercollegiate debating began here, Harvard has used 20 graduates and Yale 22 in Harvard-Yale debates. In Harvard-Princeton debates we have used 19 and Princeton 4. We have won 18 times from Yale and lost 5, while with Princeton we have...
...theory of the proposed rule is to put more responsibility upon the players themselves and so to make the game entirely the product of the men on the team. The idea is a good one if it can be practically and fairly worked out.

The present aim of the working class is to bring all its influence, by striking and by political pressure on Parliament, to bear on the nationalization of coal mines and railways. Public ownership of tramways in London, as a first step, has been...
Brattle Hall is both hopelessly small and hopelessly ugly. An armory would deprive the Dance of its atmosphere, would transfer it into a mere subscription party, nondescript and characterless. A Boston hotel would present unwise and perhaps disastrous extraneous temptations. We recall the class dinners of old. Finally, it is doubtful whether engaging any of these places would decrease expenses. The apparent price might be lower, but the general average would be higher. For the Union, the class pays no rental; and those who are already members escape for a comparatively small price. For any other suitable hall, the rental...
...article shows the author an acute observer of literary matters, with a pronounced taste of his own. His chief fault is an excessive eagerness to appear grown up and sophisticated. He is grown-up enough to afford to be simple, if he would only believe it. Let him reserve mere cleverness for such amusing sportiveness as he exhibits in "Marionettes...
