...first was, a larger room will be needed. We do not begrudge the people of Cambridge their opportunities of attending college lectures, but it must not be to the exclusion of students. Last Wednesday many students were among those who either went away discouraged, or stayed in spite of the inconvenience of standing up. Since the duty of the collage is to the student first and outsiders afterwards, it should not be too much to ask the authorities to engage Sanders Theatre for the remaining lectures of so attractive a course...

...knowledge of the situation is, of course, second hand; for in spite of the large number of Harvard graduates in this city who have shown deep interest in this matter, and who have exceptional opportunities for knowing most of the influential Yale men, the New York Alumni of Harvard were not represented on the Conference Committee. But as we understand it, Yale now offers to concede one of the two points in dispute by making, as Harvard insists, Special Students, eligible for places on the nine, crew, etc., provided Harvard will consent to a single football game annually, and that...
