...been suggested by several members of the Dining Association who have great regard for their personal safety and facial beauty, that a new arrangement be adopted in regard to the doors at Memorial. At present two men coming from opposite sides are very liable to meet with the door between, much to their personal discomfort and inconvenience, to say nothing of permanent disfigurement. If the doors were made to open one way only, that is, if the right-hand doors should be made to open by pushing, we think much discomfort would be avoided. We modestly suggest this improvement...

The plan proposed is that at frequent intervals members of the section in turn prepare and present short papers, not as formal as themes, but more so than oral recitations, on certain subjects previously given out.

EDITORS HARVARD HERALD: After the mid-years nearly all books reserved for English courses and Sophomore Rhetoric were taken from the alcove in the reading-room. Now I suggest that a selection of the best English and American authors be made by the librarian or other competent person, and that these books be placed in some alcove. Many students, having a half hour or more of leisure, would enjoy looking over such books, whereas now we have to go through a process of red tape often consuming ten minutes, at the end of which time we are liable...
