...believe, as a rule, in maintaining piously the old Harvard traditions. But we cannot help liking the way 1914 is setting out to smash one cherished Senior precedent of past years. The few men intending to leave at Mid-Years have, so we are told, responded with a surprising lack of the old-time procrastination to the Photograph Committee's appeal, and a good share of them have sat for their pictures already. The other Seniors, who are receiving the Photograph Committee's circulars this morning, can help the Album and the Committee very much by showing equal promptness. "Abbe...

Politics are not too dirty for us to take active interest in them. We can make them clean by considering and working over them; by going quietly, learning, teaching, and helping...
...Taft has tried using the courts, but with very questionable success. The Progressives, and Mr. La Follette wish to regulate these and all public utilities. This plan has been tried in Milwaukee with little success, for we cannot regulate what does not belong to us. The Democrats would completely smash the trusts, and Mr. Roosevelt would oust the bad trusts and leave the good...
