Several years ago, said President Eliot, school committees consisted of 25 or more members, divided into several sub-committees, each of which had little share in the work which the committee was supposed to do. Today, however, in most cities, the number of members of such committees has been greatly reduced and the efficiency of the committees proportionately increased...
...triangular leagues. From Harvard's point of view this year is an excellent time to test the plan, for the regular schedule makes both debates come in the spring. Adherence to the old schedule would necessitate beginning a second competition shortly after the first debate is over. Yale would share in the advantage of an earlier date, for May is not a month to bring out many candidates for a team, and in winter most men have more time for preparation...

This would exclude men like Roosevelt and several others, to whom posterity will doubtless grant at least a modest share in the making of present day America. The fundamental fallacy of the captain's reasoning is the assumption that the life of action is necessarily dissociated from the life of contemplation, and vice versa. R.

This is surely not due to lack of capable musicians, for Harvard certainly has its share of accomplished performers and composers. It is rather due, we believe, to the fact that the best class of musical talent in the University feels a distaste for writing a popular air. This is indeed a false prejudice, for while their scope is limited to music which will "sing" well...
