...numerous state universities in which tuition is practically free. A decade or two ago these were not so well equipped as they are today and for this reason many parents throughout the western and southern states thought it best to send their boys to one or other of the older institutions in the East. But the difference in equipment and in scholastic standards is no longer very marked; yet the endowed institutions along the Atlantic seaboard, Harvard in particular, continue to draw from these western and southern areas just as many recruits as ever...
However, one thing this ballot does show rather conclusively, is that Debs, Christensen and Watkins cannot expect to compete with the candidates of the two older parties, and that they do not represent the choice of the educated voter.

The Educational Association has siezed on a good idea; non are more...
...class, upon entering Harvard, has found posted in various places about its living quarters a set of rules called Parietal Regulations. In the newer buildings, such as the Freshman Dormitories, these seem to have been fairly recently printed; but as the undergraduate moves into less modern abodes, they grow older and dingier; until in the Senior Dormitories in the Yard he finds them in company with regulations about carrying water from the common pump; use of kerosene lamps; and other subjects of historical interest. Wherever and whenever he reads them he is amused--by the prohibition of his mad desire...
Tonight's affair at the Union will give the Freshmen the more mature points of view of the older graduates. President Lowell and Dean Yeomans, fresh from their European trips, are sure to have something of value and interest to say, Dean Briggs has dealt with Freshmen for a score of years or more. He can lay down a few laws well worth the notice of every member of 1924. It is fitting that Mr. Wigglesworth, as President of the Union, the one great club that belongs to the whole University, join in the welcome to the newcomers...
