...surprising that the college manifests so little interest in the annual meetings of the various athletic clubs. After the splendid record made by the crimson in the contests of last year it would certainly seem that the students might take the trouble to be present at the meetings which have so direct a bearing upon the athletic future of the college. It is an old theme, it is true, and one that has furnished the Harvard press with many an editorial, yet it is difficult to be silent when the same spirit of indifference manifests itself year after year.

...done to-night except the election of a committee to make arrangements for the coming meeting, yet we would suggest that the methods followed by eighty-five and eighty-four be adhered to in the present instance, since they gave great satisfaction to both these classes and seem well calculated to meet the exigencies of a general election of class-day officers...

Then let us take leave of the day with its coolness and its quiet, its sweet, soft music, its sentimental walks, and its whispered words of farewell...
...instructors seem unable to determine what should be a paper of fair length for a three-hour examination, as has been rather forcibly shown by some recent examinations. This is an old grievance, it is true, and one that has often been commented upon, yet its constant recurrence seems to call for even further notice. The only answer made to complaints on this subject is that the system of long examination is designed to bring to light the men who have failed to keep up with their work properly. Yet the force of this argument is greatly diminished when...
