...enjoying average good health. The slow runs are not severe - for the running is not continuous and there is often an opportunity for walking or even resting. No one is compelled to race for home when the break is made. Therefore, men who have never done much running need not fear to try their modest powers in the weekly hunts. Then, too, it is not the best short distance runner that wins the cup, it is the man with the most endurance and pluck. Thus, there is a chance for all. The more, therefore that go, the more enjoyable...
...sentiments of the '90 man as expressed in yesterday's CRIMSON, though I think his way of wording his remarks is a little obscure. Harvard has made great strides in the last few years, and I am proud to be in it. There are however, some inequalities that still need to be remedied: I do not think the upperclassmen are quite kind enough in inviting freshmen to their rooms or taking freshmen into their society. It would make us feel better if a helping hand were stretched to us and we were invited to mingle more freely with the other...
...such a part be more conclusively proved than by the poets own surprise at the melody of his verse. The "Mood of an Autumn Day," by Mr. Berenson, is crude.

Mr. Lathrop is so genial and considerate that they need have no fear about trying; and if they are qualified to try for any event he will do all in his power to perfect them for it. These fall meetings are useful in bringing out the new men and determining their merits. Such a large class as '90 should send...
...neither pleasure nor profit had been derived had consumed so much valuable time. All grounds for these regrets are now removed; but at the same time we find that men go to the other extreme and fail to learn till their course is completed, how greatly they stand in need of just such courses as the old curriculum required and which would in no way have been irksome or unprofitable to them. If we could keep before our mind's eye some definite set of subjects which ought to afford a broad, liberal education, such perhaps as a well-devised...
