...practical. There is no apparent reason why a reading room at Harvard should be under the management of the Union. A reading room is certainly an institution of enough importance to deserve an organization of its own and the care of a separate management. It would be superfluous to repeat the well-known arguments and to display the advantages of a university reading room. Every one who has known the convenience of such an institution can testify to them, and all patrons of the former reading room have now been able to appreciate the loss caused by the abandonment...
...English universities. Instead of that she has only permitted women students to halt at her back door, allowing her professors to assume burdens which she shirks herself. Women have as yet nothing to thank her for, though they have need to be grateful to those professors who "repeat to the women the instruction given to the students of the college in the different departments...
...present they only affect the race for the championship by winning now and then, through some lucky chance, a game from nines whose superiority is easily proved.

The position of Amherst and Dartmouth in the base-ball arena, and of Columbia on the foot-ball field, is quite analogous to the position Princeton would occupy if she attempted to produce an eight and rowed on the Thames every...

The number of students who take advantage of the rule regarding voluntary attendance is so large that many of the instructors feel bound to repeat their lectures in the following week, and thus the men, who, from over-conscientiousness or other reasons, have been unwilling to cut, in the end gain nothing by their faithfulness to their work. The petition for extension has already received many signatures, but needs many more before it will...
...candidates for membership next Friday and Monday. The same arguments that would urge men to try for the Glee Club apply also in the case of the Pierian. To all students who are musically inclined both these societies offer unsurpassable advantages for profit and pleasure combined. Freshmen, we must repeat, should not be backward about presenting themselves in these trials. There is no member of '86, we feel sure, who, if fairly competent, would not profit by membership. Certainly the trial is worth making...
