...that each one of these necessitates a considerable list of officers and committees - sometimes, I have been told by the envious, a very respectable proportion of the membership list, a portion sufficient in the steady march of time to satisfy the aspirations of all concerned. But, nevertheless, in spite of all these assertions, I now have to believe that Harvard men are mere novices in this branch of the great art of politics. I have seen the list of sophomore class officers in a neighboring college, and, for ingenuity and fertility of resource, it certainly surpasses anything attained with...
...spite of all that has been previously said regarding the proposal of Harvard to withdraw from the Inter-collegiate Base-ball League, it seems that our position is not yet sufficiently well understood to escape unfavorable comment from Dartmouth and of course from Yale.

With careful and sensible management and with moderate and definite aims there is every reason why such an association should become a success and a power of great moment in the college world. In spite of the ultra-conservative forebodings of the Crimson and the Courant we think its uses and its outcome need neither be trivial nor doubtful. The HERALD certainly can see in the plan distinct practical advantages for itself, and, as we believe, also for our esteemed contemporaries...
