...wish most heartily to commend the action of the Sophomore debaters in calling a meeting to organize a class club. This action is the first step toward arousing a more general interest in debating, and if the course be persevered in, we feel convinced, as we have said several times before, that it will ultimately prove successful...
...where he has since lived. Thus he has discovered a new field in fiction and has made excellent use of it. The stories in dialect are mostly humorous. The humor is not insistent, and the reader is flattered by having much left to his intelligence. The same may be said of the narration in the other stories.

If admission to the Union and Forum was open only to undergraduates more men would...

Let the class presidents meet their classes and call upon every man to put in his subscription for the general good. As "Ninety-eight" said in the CRIMSON of the 21st inst., "hang out the blue-books, and give us a chance to contribute our share of the money while yet in college." A University Club, well appointed and well managed would lay in its grave forever that ghost called "Harvard Indifference...
