...from the college in the way of subscriptions. Many men who have subscribed have as yet failed to pay, while the amount subscribed is much smaller than it has been in the pas. -We fear that this complaint will be echoed by almost every organization in college. The college seems to show its desire that Harvard should be represented by newspapers as well as by athletics in the most inexpensive way.

Then, just as everything gets in running order again, a vacation comes to break in upon the work, and necessitates an entirely new start.

Of course, the obvious result of this hindrance will be to enforce increased activity in practice when opportunity for it does arrive...
