...perfectly proper that these four athletic organizations should be represented. Their position before the college is such as to give the opinion of their delegates the greatest weight; and no better representatives of Harvard's athletes could be found than is to be found among their officers. The delegates could be chosen at the annual meeting, to serve, like the class delegates, throughout the year. For reasons that will be seen later, it is not necessary that there should be more than one delegate from each of these organizations...
...most important feature of the plan. Whenever a question is to come up before the Conference Committee, the committee of the faculty, after consulting with the members of the student committee who are especially interested in the question under consideration, are to invite such students as are in their opinion best fitted to discuss, and most interested in the particular question which is to be brought up at the meeting.

...Could his pent-up grief find no better outlet than in a 250 word theme in an examination book? And he not only writes a theme on the subject, but afterwards, in a fit of petty spite, bawls out his grief in a newspaper. We express no opinion as to the taste displayed, but we do hope that, after his sophomore year, he will regret this public attack on a deservedly popular instructor, where private redress, for his supposed wrong, might have been so readily obtained...
