...consisting of the four class presidents. The conference showed the need of consulting a representative student body before taking action on any new plan of government, for several schemes of rigorous college discipline were brought up, the folly of which was soon made evident. Had the overseers taken this step of consulting the student's ideas and wishes on college discipline before, they would never have made the silly suggestions of a week or so ago. Overseers and students rarely see the same question in the same light; and an exchange and comparison of views cannot help clearing hazy...
...many things that make it desirable for the game to be played in New York; at the same time there are very serious objections to the plan. The question is a hard one to decide, and doubtless many men will question whether the Athletic Committee has taken the right step in the matter. We urge all men in thinking the subject over, to remember that the Committee is made up of men who have the best interests of our athletics at heart, and who can see phases of the question which are not evident to everyone.

Rather than change it he will take the tax off whiskey and tobacco. The truth is that the Republicans intend to leave the present tariff...
...Harvard Banjo Club of the present is a very youthful organization, dating one year later than the first freshman glee club, which originated with the class of '88. The members of the class of '89 not only followed the praiseworthy step of their upper-classmen in forming a freshman glee club, but also instituted a class banjo club, which assisted the Glee Club at its concerts. The members of this club, at the end of their freshmen year, decided that there ought to be a regular 'varsity banjo club, so at the beginning of their sophomore term, in the fall...
