...criticising the dormitory as a unit for scrub sport, it must be remembered that this year, which is the poorest so far in point of numbers, over one hundred men competed in the bumping races. A scrub sport of any sort that employs one hundred men in competitive exercise for a month can hardly be called unsuccessful. One thing is certain: there have never been so many men rowing under any other system in the University as there has been under the dormitory system this year. Until a very much better plan can be evolved, enthusiastic and careful supervision...

Harvard is proud of every man of them...

The Republic was not a complete organization at first, but was a gradual outgrowth of a summer camp, established by Mr. William George in 1891. Mr. George established a jury system with a judge and district attorney, and a supreme court of appeals was instituted. In the fall of 1894 Mr. George decided to form a legislature and institute a system of coinage. The thought struck...
