...these courts at the western end of the field and in other places that will not interfere with the baseball ground. In fact the graduate manager has offered to build a larger number of courts than the tennis association wants and not injure the field at all. It is true that the tennis association wants this all done before the interscholastic tournament, on May twelfth, and the courts can be built quicker as proposed. But while interscholastic athletics deserve encouragement, are they to be encouraged at the expense of our own students? If it should be urged that it would...
...managed and then to base on this its own organization. But now everything is changed. No church would want to change its forms of service and government and accommodate itself to the primitive methods of the early Christians which would very naturally be now utterly impracticable. That this is true was conclusively shown about twelve years ago when a manuscript was found showing how the church was managed in the first century. When the discovery was announced every sect, Baptist, Unitarian, Episcopalian, and all the others were sure that it was going to show that they were following...

...sufficiently high. As no list of commencement parts has since been published, the '94 men of the Scientific School are denied the chance of competing for the coveted honor of taking part in the exercises on commencement day. This is an evident injustice and in direct opposition to the true Harvard spirit. The student in the Scientific School differs in only two respects from the student in the college: he has less requirements for entrance and his work is chiefly prescribed. These differences, in the opinion of the faculty, may make him unfit to compete with the college student...
