...Harvard Union is an old institution and one which deserves support from the college. It affords to men a chance to learn something of parliamentary law, to speak in public without embarrassment, and to learn to for emulate ideas with rapidity and precision. Its usefulness is manifest. We regret to learn, consequently, that the number of men from the lower classes who are accustomed to speak at the Union debates is not large, and that the interest taken by those who have spoken is not enthusiastic or persistent. This really is a great mistake. Men ought to make...

It has at its command the services of a distinguished scholar. Under these circumstances its friends make their appeal for its permanent endowment with hope and confidence...
...should suggest that instead of using your columns as an instrument to persuade men to suspect the boat club and its management, that you should rather appeal to the college through them to give its entire support in a time of sore need, to one of its most popular teams. The boat club cannot exist without finances, and as it cannot support itself as the other associations can, it seems to me that we should use our every effort to help our crew win, rather than by inaccurate and unpatriotic statements help to increase the disadvantages under which...
