...very able way in which the affairs of the society have been managed. The students have had confidence in the society and have traded with it because their wants have been attended to promptly and satisfactorily and because they have recognized that the society is being run on sound business principles. There is every indication that last year's success but foreshadows a greater success this year. The sales of the first week this year are $2500 in excess of those of the first week last year. It is certainly to be hoped that the business of the whole year...
...Banjo Club played very well, although the use of banjourines entirely in place of banjos had a tendency to deaden the sound somewhat.

Harvard, on the other hand, has a code not so clearly formulated. She has men who understand the science, but unfortunately there are factions that represent different ideas. In rowing, Harvard is sorely in need of leader and of harmony among her graduates...
...Hayes '91 opened the debate on the negative. He said that it is not merely voters that are wanted but men who can think and vote on sound principles. He gave statistics to show the great falling off of the vote in Massachusetts in the years immediately following presidential elections, and concluded that the abolition of the poll tax as a requisite for voting would greatly increase this lack of interest. The poll tax should be retained until the people of Massachusetts have attained a higher degree of economic knowledge...
