...believe that both are partially right. It would be lamentable if, in the eagerness to accommodate a great many students, a step was taken which resulted in accommodating nobody; if Memorial was turned into a restaurant, where each man ate his meal, and felt morally bound immediately to give his place to the next man. Memorial has been very much more to students than an eating-house, and to such a condition it must not be reduced. On the other hand, the Hall was meant to accommodate Harvard students,- not the particular ones who happen to be in possession...
Again we wish to speak of the importance of the competitive debate tonight as the initial step in the contest with Yale. When Harvard and Yale first met in debate the contrast between the trios of debaters was almost painful, but steadily the contrast has been growing less.

We hope that the officers of the club who will soon assume control will allow no step to be taken backward. The Camera Club has it in its power to become one of the well known institutions of the University. We can say with confidence, to the students who have not yet been to the exhibit, that a visit would well repay them...
