...question for discussion: Resolved, "That the proposed alterations in the requirements for admission to Harvard College are desirable." Regular disputants,- G. F. Davidson, '85, and J. H. Huddleston, '86, affirmative; H. M. Williams, '85, and G. P. Furber, '87, negative. An amendment to the constitution regarding the method of selecting the question for debate, will come up for discussion immediately after the call to order...

...lectures that should treat of the practical side of journalism, and present in clear form the problems that must be met and solved by those who undertake it. There is no other profession in which such active, accurate thought, so body a command of resources, and so clear a method of exposition are needed. The faculty of late have been devoting their valuable time to the obstruction of athletics: would they mind considering a subject that is of vital importance to the proper education of a class of men hither-to unnoticed...
