...suggestion that the Conference Committee itself comprise the proposed jury - a suggestion which we cannot support - has led to a discussion of what the Conference Committee should be. Its present name certainly implies that it was instituted only as a deliberative and advisory body. As such, the committee certainly has excellent reasons for existence. Deliberation has its merits, and the power of giving advice its dignity and importance; but after all neither of these involves any certain influence, any decided power.

The effort was decidedly a commendable...
...recognition which our worthy contemporary has been seeking. In part we already have that recognition, but it is our desire to make the daily paper of Harvard useful to instructors and students alike. We cannot, however, make it so in any high degree, unless we have willing and constant support from both. Members of our faculty have often used our columns; a few of them have regularly done so. We would gladly have this use general...
