There are other sides of the question which come up, but those we have mentioned seem to be the principal. The faculty, we understand, is now considering the arguments for these two plans; and is very soon to decide which method they shall adopt for next year. In their vote on the question we trust they will be influenced somewhat by the opinion of the students on a matter which so nearly concerns the latter. We cannot pretend that our view on the subject is the accurate expression of the whole college; because the students have...
Neither of these two plans may seem adequate, but they are the best which, with the college's present resources, the faculty can find, and it is almost certain that the faculty will adopt one of them for next year. Those who favor the first plan are likely to say that the college can easily endure to begin work a half hour earlier in the warm months and to recite a half hour later in the winter months, and that under this arrangement a stated time, though it be short, will be set apart for the noon meal. Those...

It brings about a state of affairs for which, as best for the athletic interests of both colleges, Harvard and Yale graduates have been steadily working. It would seem that the time is now ripe for Harvard and Yale to make certain agreements under which, for a stated period of years, athletic contests between the two colleges should take place; in other words to bring about the consummation of a dual league...

What we have said in regard to the andidates for the freshman nine apies equally well to the men who hink they are trying hard for the new. The trouble with all Ninety-four's thletic teams at present is lack of earnestness. They do not seem to have acquired the first principles of the lessons which Harvard has been learning of late years. The freshmen know well enough what these lessons have been, and what the college now expects of its representatives. It is that spirit of earnest activity which is absolutely essential to success...
