This discrimination, it may be remarked, is in most cases not made consciously. The student, wondering whom to vote for as class secretary, does not ordinarily run over in his mind all the winners of athletic events he can think of, and select from them one that he considers fitted for the office. Yet, unconsciously, what he does is not very different from this. the reason is, not so much his desire to recognize the best sprinter in his class as his ignorance of any of his classmates, outside of his personal circle, except those whose names he has seen...

So I covered part of my roof with tin, with an eye to that luxury. Well, air, do you think it ever rains on that tin? No, air; skips it every time.

There is at present a movement on foot to consolidate the Monthly and the Advocate. The benefits which would accrue to each of the papers have been clearly and indubitably outlined in the general discussion so far. Yet I think that there is one broad aspect of the question which has not been emphasized so much as it should have been It is this: what will the merger do for the College? It is a shame that Harvard, the oldest, the most cultured the most advanced of American universities should be without a recognized literary representative...
