Senator Stanford recently said, in reference to Stanford University, which he has founded and endowed: "It will be built with a sole regard to the poor; no rich man's son or daughter will want to come there.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- Now that the ubiquitous freshman sucking his thumb is seen at every corner of the street-poor lost lamb-it seems but right that we, seniors juniors, and above all, world-possessing sophomores, should give him the benefit of our experience and point out to him not the many things that he should do, but the immediate things he should not, for the sins of commission are much more animadverted upon at Harvard than those of omission; and indeed a man who does nothing here, not even work, is sure to be a most respectable member...
