...paid to the study of the English language and literature in colleges and other institutions of learning both in this country and in England, there is still a notable lack of interest in the subject exhibited in quarters where it ought not to exist. The reasons for this have often been discussed, and do not again need to be rehearsed; that they are insufficient is now admitted in certain high quarters where the admission would have been impossible not so many years ago. For a long time even Harvard seemed disposed to cling too tenaciously to the classical system...
...question is often asked why we do not hear more from the Glee clubs and other musical organizations in college in the way of concerts in the yard. Nothing is pleasanter in the warm, quiet summer evening than to be stretched on the grass in front of Matthews and listen to the songs of the Glee Club. The 'Varsity Club has sung in the yard a few times this spring, and the Freshman Club but once. It seems too bad that when enjoyment can be afforded to so many by the exertion of a few, those few are willing...
...which a red wafer marked each place for which appropriations were made by the bill, and mentioned among others Mispillion Creek, Carrituek Sound, Coanjok Bay, Chefuncte River and Bogue Phalia, and proposed to turn over to the Modern Language Association the Skagit, Nootsack Stelaquamish. Snokomish and Snoqualmie Rivers. Often the improvement was of use to nobody, as in the case of one river which could be carried by a twelve-inch drain. In another case, the Fox and Winconsin Rivers, the government had spent two and a half millions on improvement of use only to a water-power company...
...years, have reported the means by which they have been able to earn money, have offered valuable criticisms of their own outlays and of those modes of living here which in their judgement materially increase or diminish cost. Again and again they have frankly acknowledged extravagance, and about as often have confided to me their struggles to live on less than was wise. In short they have given me just the information I desired and have then requested me to write again if I wished for more. I thank them heartily, and assure them that their trust shall...
Every year when the assignment of the college rooms is made, we are once again reminded of the great unfairness of a system which gives a subfreshman equal rights with members of the University. Very often men graduate without having ever lived in the yard, although they have tried for rooms every year. It certainly does not seem more than right that present college men should be given the preference over intended college men. This complaint is such an old one, that we are ashamed to be obliged to renew it, but it is so well grounded that we feel...
