...This hostility lies deeper than the questions of wages and the hours of labor. Such questions are the most frequent subjects of controversy, but if there were no questions of wages or hours of labor, other issues would be found upon which class hostility would express itself. It is obvious that public officials and courts of law are powerless to deal with this difficulty. They may succeed in keeping the hostile forces within the bounds of law and order, but they cannot remove the hostility itself. With characteristic insight, President Eliot has directed attention to the root of the difficulty...
Very opportunely for the class of 1904 the Stadium is first available this year. It is obvious that the danger from fire would, be eliminated, and the seating capacity satisfactorily increased. By fencing off the semi-circular end an open air theatre seating for 9,000 people can be arranged, whereas only about 3,000 can be accommodated at the Statue. This should not be considered as opening the exercises to the general public, but merely as an opportunity for each Senior to obtain a fair number of tickets...

...issue sins more grievously than its predecessors in this respect. Of the two pieces of criticism here published, that by S. Hale has no more than the usual amount of literary slang, and if most of what he has to say of William Watson's poetry is fairly obvious, it is at least clearly thought out. W. A. Green's "The Versatile Mr. Kipling," is less satisfactory. He is guilty of saying that "in 'Gentleman Rankers' there is a more serious turn of finality" than in "the whimsically pathetic protest of 'Tommy'." If the Monthly had had a style book...
