...other offices should be filled in some manner by which the aim of securing the interest of the whole class should be kept constantly in view. In what way such a selection can be accomplished is a mooted question. Certainly a crowded class meeting is not a place where anything more abstract than personal or factional interest can be adhered to. A plan which was proposed only too late last year was the election in open meeting of a large committee of fifteen or twenty, who should report nominations to the class. In this way a calmer discussion could...
...HAVE been told that there was a foot-ball match last Tuesday. I am told that there is to be another one on Friday. The one I did not see, and the other I do not expect to see. Why? Because, instead of taking place on Holmes Field, where I could easily go without any trouble or loss of time, the games are played in Boston, and at the extreme end of Boston. I suppose that there is some good reason for this, but it seems very strange that, when the College has provided us with a convenient and good...

The remedy is very simple, and, consisting as it does in merely unlocking...
...Fall Races take place at two o'clock tomorrow, over the Union course. Efforts will be made to avoid all delays, and probably it will be easy for the same person to see the races and match between Yale and Tufts. Besides the usual prizes of goblets and mugs for the members of the winning crews in both races, the Graduates' Cup is to be rowed for by the sixes. This cup is now on exhibition in one of the windows under Holyoke House. The names of the victorious six will be handed down to posterity on the parchment which...
