...trip of a Harvard graduate lacrosse team to England, which had been planned for this fall, has had to be postponed because several of the players who had been counted on for the team find it impossible to get away at this time. The plan was to send over about the end of October, when the English lacrosse season begins, a team picked from the best players of recent Harvard teams, for a tour of four weeks through England. The arrangement of a schedule was undertaken by Mr. F. D. Ascoli, president of the Oxford University Lacrosse Club, and matches...
...plan is being followed this year for the devotional meetings of the Christian Association. Instead of having two meetings on each Thursday evening, one for upperclassmen and one for Freshmen, there will now be a separate meeting for each class. The Senior and Freshman meetings will be held on Thursday evenings, and the Junior and Sophomore meetings on Tuesday evenings. Seven o'clock will be the hour for all of the meetings. By this means it is expected that the meetings will be less constrained than formerly...

The experience of the past two years with the debating clubs proves conclusively that upperclassmen cannot or will not take the time to prepare formal debates at regular intervals and that they are not, as a rule, interested in listening to the dry statistical discussion that such debates generally call forth at club meetings. They prefer...
This is just what the plan of the Debating Council makes possible by encouraging the organization of informal groups of congenial men for purposes of discussion, to whom it offers the advantage of the helpful, frank criticism of older and experienced debaters,--an inducement which was formerly held out to the clubs. A recent writer in the Monthly complained justly of the deplorable lack of interest shown by undergraduates in important current public questions and we are continually being urged to take an active interest in these questions by prominent men who visit us, as we were by the Bishop...
