...Harvard Canoe Club, which has been resurrected this year, is now in a condition which predicts a prosperous future. It was founded in 1884 but has never stood very high among the college athletic organizations. Last year it seemed nearly dead. There were five members in the graduating class, two in '89, and a few specials and Law and Medical School men. It began this year with a muster roll of three men and now that the number has increased to over thirty, many rooms are decorated with the crimson silk burgees bearing the gold circle and shield with...
...prohibition of practice with professionals. We have been handicapped long enough by this regulation and must do something to bring about a change. The faculty's position will prove untenable if we only assail it. The first necessity is some one to start the movement. The faculty will never raise their veto unless they are asked. Occasional editorials in college papers or hints in student assemblies have no weight. What is needed is an aroused public sentiment, such as will show itself in mass meetings and monster petitions. This course was what won our voluntary prayer system, and this course...
...that has been worn smooth. But we do think that a petition, couched in plain but respectful terms and signed by the majority of men in college, might have weight with the faculty.

...Sherman himself, who funded this debt so that it is irredeemable except at a high premium. In answer to the charge that English merchants have spent money to get a foothold in our market, Mr. White said that in twenty-five years of close connection with tariff legislation he never knew of a shilling that was thus expended. Mr. Sherman also says that whoever favors lower duties opposes protection and favors foreigners, yet the strongly-protectionist First Congress thought average duties of eight per cent. sufficient in place of 47 per cent., and they certainly could not be accused...
...attitude of the deceased shows trust and resignation. On the earlier vases the two are represented as conquerors of mankind, and are therefore clothed as warriors, but this type soon yields to a more beautiful one. The Greek craftsman was fully aware of the limitations of his art, and never tried to represent such difficult themes as the shield of Achilles. His skill was, however, shown in the way in which he overcame the inherent clumsiness of the sea monster which usually accompanied Thetis. In the later vases the artist tried to give the effect of a foreground and background...
