...first story comes from the syndicated news letter of the Intercollegiate Prohibition Association. This sharpeyed organization has seized upon the figures which were printed in so many papers last year, estimating Harvard's drink bill at more than her book bill, and has drawn the obvious and mistaken conclusion that Harvard fails to realize the "retarding and deteriorating effect of alcohol." The estimate really allows each student about five cents a day for alcoholic beverages. But the point that the story best illustrates is the staying quality of a good college news item. It has already been with...
...Mandigo shows careful analysis of certain problems pertaining to street paving, and presents his observations in such form as to be of value to all interested in this line of engineering. Entirely unique, and pleasingly rigorous is the discussion by Professor Woodward of some of the common but less obvious stumbling blocks inherent in present day methods of teaching mechanics. The editorials, interesting in subject matter, and written in pleasing style, round out the number, and give to it a finish unsurpassed by our best technical journals. DR. J. W. M. BUNKER...

Though we realize perfectly that College vacations must be made by rule, still we feel that the rule should not be so iron-bound as to permit the obvious mistake of letting two tag-end days in Cambridge deprive five thousand students of two extra Sundays at home. The last day of a term is always one of abbreviated recitations, especially when the day happens to be a Monday, for it is hard to come down to any real work...

From the time of the Monthly's inception in 1885 several definite proposals for a merger have been made, but have been consistently rejected through the inability of the two papers to effect a satisfactory compromise. The abstract advantages of combination, without reference to sentiment or tradition, are obvious. Whatever difference in field may exist is purely of degree, and by continued independent action the magazines tend to develop a mutual hindrance which makes it impossible that the College should be fairly represented in a literary way by either...
...CRIMSON endorses most heartily the action of the Student Council Committee on Publications in recommending the merger of the Advocate and Monthly, and will do all in its power to further such a movement. For obvious reasons it is desirable to put an end to the present cut-throat competition for advertising and circulation that is now carried on by the two papers, and to have a single publication that truly represents the literary ability of the undergraduates. By the present competition of the two papers in the same limited field the University loses the benefit and influence that could...
