...same terms as to men; or a middle course such as was pursued was necessary. Now this middle course was a compromiseand the situation today is a compromise. Instead of pursuing either of the extreme courses a bridge has been put across between them. Right here, it seems to us, the petitioners have gone astray. They seem to look upon the new relations between Harvard and the Annex as an accomplished end rather than as a first step towards an end. They see something which is unsatisfactory and they reason that therefore it is wrong. Unless we are very much...
...News Publishing Co. has just made its third annual offer of the following prizes for the best graduating theses presented by students from any engineering course of any college in the United States or Canada: First prize, $75; second prize, $50; third prize, $25. For such other theses as seem to the judges to deserve such recognition, honorable mention, accompanied in each case by a two years' paid subscription to the Engineering News, will be given. This competition is of course only open to men in graduating classes...
These rules seem fully to cover the requirements. They eliminate all kinds of professionalism, exclude all but bona fide students in good standing, and minimize the chance of coming to Harvard with athletics as the primary purpose.

Abbott played on the Dartmouth nine, Sullivan and Lewis came from Amherst...

Doubtless they seem to very many of the students to have no special meaning beyond their intrinsic value. Yet it seems to us that these organizations, which have provided public lectures, have shown that they appreciate a greater sphere of usefulness than mere activity among themselves. Of course, the business of a Natural History Society must be primarily...
...first claim on the attention of the debaters in the University. It is all-important that this intercollegiate debate should be made as fine as possible, especially at a time when athletic competition is rather running away with us and when a good many people, absurd as it may seem, are actually judging institutions by their ability to play football. Something must be done, and done soon, to turn some of the enthusiasm which now holds almost exclusively to athletic contests. Though oratory and argument cannot be practiced on an open field every afternoon before grand stands full of enthusiastic...
