...organization meeting of an Undergraduates' Economics Society held last evening, Dr. E. E. Day, of the Department of Economics, spoke on the advantages of a society of this sort. He pointed out the wide divergence of opinion on economic question, which a stu- dent necessarily encounters in the University and the consequent necessity for a discussion of these opinions. The society would also aid students in formulating intelligent opinions on current political problems, such as the banking reform and the tariff revision. In closing Dr. Day emphasized the need of hard, conscientious work by every member of the society...

Another suggestion was that more prominent members of the Faculty be asked to speak in the Union than at present. This idea was given further...
...Oxford Union fosters could not well be made the centre of the Union's activities. Some doubt was expressed on the point of the amount of interest which Harvard undergraduates could be expected to take in such subjects as are keenly debated at Oxford. The general consensus of opinion was, nevertheless, that the experiment might be tried and, if non-existent at present, the interest would grow. Other suggestions made were that such an organization should originate and be managed solely by the Union and that the officers of the Union could with advantage be chosen from the leaders...
