...report touches on many other points worthy of comment--the need of new chemistry buildings, the raising of the tuition fee, the union with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, etc. For this reason it should be read with care by all who are interested in the work of the University...
...class would attend a smoker at which no beer was served"? If a man has so little class spirit, that he will not come to a smoker unless beer is served there, it would seem that the class would be benefitted by his absence. Personally, I have every reason for believing that there exists in the Freshman class as large a group of men who stay away from smokers because beer is served, as the probable group who would not attend in the absence of that form of refreshment. Thus, the loss of one group is offset by the gain...
...other words, Chapel takes strong hold of many of those who have given it a fair trial,--the most eloquent of arguments in its favor.

Plenty of men in College have never been inside of Appleton, and a lot more have never been there under favorable circumstances. The average student has no conception of what...
...other hand, it is the divinest of nectars. The CRIMSON is hardly self-righteous enough to arbitrate the question. Class dinners, it is true, have not been spotless, and perhaps are not yet so.

Although the members of the Freshman class cannot "eat around" at the three dormitory dining rooms, and for that reason are divided into three groups, there will be no such restriction or division at the Freshman banquet in the Union tonight. Smith can eat with Gore and Standish can join the party. Every Freshman should attend. Friendships cannot be made by holding aloof from the gatherings of one's class, and men should learn this in their first year...
