...more widespread regret, and most Harvard men, whether oarsmen or not, find it hard to reconcile themselves to the step. Nevertheless, since Goodrich has himself seen fit to withdraw, and since the coaches approve his action there is nothing for it but to accept the inevitable, and admire the spirit in which the resignation was made...
...regular performances. The costumes and scenery were very artistic. T. Stensland '98 and W. S. Parker '99 as Bungus, King of Spontania and Corcoran Van Brunt, Professor of Histeria at Harvard University, respectively, were very natural and showed that they were fitted for their parts. Parker kept up the spirit of the play throughout, showing marked ability to act a comical character. R. M.

The chorus showed lack of training and were not sure of their parts besides...

If this question could be answered, we fear a large per cent. would be included in the number, and if there really were a war and a call for volunteers, that a great many would respond in the same spirit. There always have been such men, doubtless there were in '61, and think what a revulsion they must have had then. In fact it is one thing to take a matter cheerfully though seriouly, and another to consider everything a big joke...
Entirely optional subscriptions are inevitably hard to start even when they call for small contributions, since the individual donation seems to play so unimportant a part in the final whole.

To us it seems that the permanent recognition of winning teams by prizes coming from the fellows themselves is an extremely good precedent to establish. We therefore...
...responding to the toast, "The Class," W. B. Cutting, Jr., pleaded for a greater unity of spirit among the members of the class both in college and after graduation. R. C. Bolling, representing "Debating," urged more men to participate in debating, in which 1900 was more handicapped than any other class owing to the lack of stimulus of a Yale freshman debate. The poem by R. S. Holland was by far the best effort of the evening. The personal hits were well received by the class. Besides the regular toasts, impromptu speeches were made by J. M. Glidden...
