Harvard has won the Scotch Gambit game with Yale on the twenty-ninth move. The moves were...
Finally, in reference to any move that may be made in the matter, we express our profound conviction that any action, to be satisfactory in the long run, must be cooperative. If either the students in power or the Corporation insist upon looking at the matter only from their own point of view, the whole question might as well be given up in despair. The Corporation have strength in their position; they can hardly be expected to erect a second hall, if, that done, the problem of a third hall will at once take the place of the old problem...

The enlarged quarters will be accompanied by an increased need of teachers from the University, and there ought to be no lack of response to this need. Organized with only forty charter members, it has grown, within less than four years, so as to have more than six hundred members. By it a class of people are interested in education whom it would be impossible to reach as effectually in any other manner, and in whom any interest in such matters is commonly despaired...
