...Harvard";--two are claimed by athletics; two by matters more strictly academic (not to say pedagogic); and the remaining two deal with what might be called the "social" questions of our College life, using the word in its broader sense. They are all "live topics", and should stimulate the mind--if they do not swell the purse--of every student who enters the competition. Last year's contest produced much food for thought, and there is no reason why this year's should not be equally fruitful...
...signed editorial on "Respectability" is perhaps a little petulant in tone, but the plea for greater independence of mind and conduct was well worth making. No one will deny that this quality is needed not only by college students, but by American society in general. At the same time the necessity has not entirely passed away for urging respect for standards. The growing tyranny of external social standards, which the writer deplores, has been accompanied in great measure by indifference, on the part of both old and young, to traditional intellectual standards which society once imposed.

Last year upperclassmen with entrance conditions were registered as Freshmen, and there were something short of one hundred of them. This year such men are registered as Sophomores. Even after this deduction has been made...
...proper date for a Harvard dinner, in London, in the summer of 1913. While such an undergraduate has not yet been definitely selected, it is hoped that all Harvard men who expect to be in London at any time during the coming summer will keep the dinner in mind or else write Mr. Phillips some time in the near future with a view of selecting the most suitable date for the occasion...
