...institutions with which the young politician comes in contact, an inflexible maintenance of his word, come what may, and an attitude towards the people while not too cordial and familiar, yet open-minded and careful of their interests, are some of the most fundamental elements of success. It does not make so much difference to what party you belong or what candidate you support as long as you firmly believe in that party and that candidate. One of the hardest things the college man has to meet is the routine work in politics, which sometimes seems to him like drudgery...
...from those absences which occur at the end of a major sport season the Faculty naturally deduces that such sport to demand such method of recuperation in one of excess. Doubtless they do. But isn't this again an example of ignorance to be traced from unconcern over the success of that season? Here's a simpler explanation of those absences-the debilitation of re-echoing defeat, nothing but defeat! It is a natural time to hide one's light under a bushel.

The satisfaction of contact and occasional victory in honest rivalry make intercollegiate contests interesting, and as soon as the chief motive for competing is absent, the effect will be evident...
Such a dearth as at present exists in the English department scarcely augurs well for the success of the new degree with distinction in history and literature. If a man wished to specialize in the nineteenth century he would find himself at a loss where to turn for material.

...well exemplified by the growth of the Appointments Bureau. The Bureau was founded in 1887 by the late Frank Bolles '82, then Secretary of Harvard College, in order to stimulate a demand for undergraduate helpers, and to make independent of financial worries ambitious men of small means. The success of the Bureau was instantaneous, and about 200 men were secured employment during the first year. A few years later the Bureau was extended so as to include Harvard graduates, and in 1897 the Appointments Committee was organized, the Bureau officially recognized, and H. S. Thompson '99 was made Secretary...
