...Palmer's letter in the CRIMSON of March 17 is interesting but subject to dispute. His scientific division of the ways in which classics should be taught appears somewhat obscure and doubtful. Why may not a student follow more than one point of view in reading an author if that author deserves such a consideration? When a man climbs a mountain, whether he is a botanist, a geologist, or a mere climber, he must have one look at the vegetation, another at the ground, and another at the vistas about him. If he fails to appreciate any of these three...
...Mitchell's doubt, hampered by the defects of an editor's point of view, weighed down with the responsibilities of circulation and making up his issues, is probably justified. He concludes by asking, "To put things plainly: don't we like a boxing match better than Lowes-Dickinson?" This question is as bad as the uneasy choice which Mr. McCombs offered us between militarism and pacifism. Some of us like good boxing matches and find it not inconsistent with a fondness for stimulating lectures or reading. Compared with most professional boxing-matches, the meet at the Union a short time...
...graduation of all of last year's point-winners in the 120 and 220-yard hurdles leaves a gap to be filled. H. W. Minot '17, who has been doing excellent relay work this winter, will be trained for the low hurdles. A. E. Rowse, Jr., '18 and F. S. Allen '16 will practice for this event also. In the 120-yard high hurdles, L. M. Pratt '18, H. J. Coolidge '16, and L. B. Means '18 will be the main contestants. R. W. Stanley '17 will strengthen this event considerably if he can get off probation...
Suggestions have been received by the committee concerning the question of emphasizing the scores in order that the intercollegiate indoor championship might be settled in the same way as the outdoor ones in the spring. This point was considered at one of the meetings when the plans for the first indoor meet were being drawn up, and it was decided then that the present non-scoring system would cause the smaller colleges to enter, and make the competition keener. It was also felt that it would be unfair to the coaches and track athletes to have them trained to their...
Compulsory membership is preposterous. If a minority of the college members use the Union, then a majority of them do not. Compulsory membership, therefore, will wrong the majority. Compulsory membership will set up a dangerous precedent. No one has appeared before the Student Council to point this out, for no one greatly cares what, if anything, is done by the Student Council; but everyone knows that if compulsory membership is introduced in a social club like the Union, we shall soon be taxed for the support of the Goodies' Aggregation, the Janitors' Junto, and the Harvard Square Business Thieves' League...
