President Eliot spoke last Saturday before the Massachusetts State Child Labor Committee on the education of boys and girls as skilled laborers. He emphasized the fact that the rules of labor unions in this country limit the number of apprentices to far below the natural demand for skilled labor, and are consequently harmful, as they allow only a certain limited number of boys and girls to become skilled laborers. President Eliot discussed the perfection to which the German system of trade schools has been carried. In these schools compulsory education lasts until the age of sixteen, while in the American...
...countless ways. Of the affectionate regard in which his friends held him I do not trust myself to write. He loved his fellow-men and their love was given him in return.

The spirit of success has been felt by everyone, and everyone should foster this spirit by taking some part in the outdoor work. The teams would be benefited thereby, for the general physique of the University would be improved. The Freshman team has shown what can be accomplished by serious and determined effort. It completely outplayed and defeated a team which outweighed it fifteen pounds per man. This year there have been three...
