...presenting the facts, we are nearly powerless without the assistance of the officers and professors. We hope that means will now be furnished whereby they, without inconvenience to themselves, can give the requisite material. The system, we think, will also save them from many intrusions on their time. Hearty cooperation on their part is earnestly desired. A similar system has already been tried on a limited scale; we look for proportionately better results now that it is tried on a larger scale...

...thought was that God not only started the processes of evolution but that he still governs their development.

They have to leave the rest to the honesty and justice of the men themselves. When men prove that they have not these qualities the Class Day Committee is powerless. A case has come to our notice which illustrates the point. It is an instance where the Class Day Committee has no jurisdiction whatever, and where public feeling is the power to be brought to bear. The facts are simple enough. A man in the present senior class early...

...communication on our first page makes a suggestion to which we call the attention of the Faculty, who, although they themselves may be powerless to act on it, could, we feel sure, if so disposed, induce the proper authorities to make the change. It seems to be a mistake to oblige men to get back for the sole purpose of spending a Sunday in Cambridge. The amount of work which would be omitted if Saturday were included in the recess is very small; it is not commensurate with the hurry and unpleasantness of leaving one's home in the midst...
