...much has been said, and on the whole so ill said, in the College and Boston press, about the refusal of Sanders Theatre to the Harvard Union, that I desire to state the facts. It is not true that the Faculty were arbitrary and unjust, the Faculty had nothing to do with it. It is not true that Republican meetings are allowed, and Democratic forbidden. The Corporation were willing that the Union should occupy any other hall in the Yard or elsewhere, for speakers from both parties. The Union has been granted the use of a College hall...
...letter from a correspondent concerning a recent editorial article in the Harvard Echo, - a letter which we do not think is open to the charge of misrepresentation or malicious exaggeration. The Echo has a perfect right to criticise, in a courteous manner, any line of conduct that seems unjust; but it has no right whatsoever to insult an instructor who may have displeased some portion of the men in his elective. Both the matter and the spirit of the article in question call for the severest reproof from all who have any desire that our College journalism shall at least...
THAT target for the arrows of the aggrieved student, the marking system, (pardon me for mentioning it!) that contradictory, illogical, unjust method of classifying men, seems likely to assume an importance more than local; for it is in full operation even in our lower schools, where its effects are noticeably injurious.

...Latin instructors, who, even at this remote point of time from the "Semis," has acknowledged that he has not yet begun to correct the examination-books, and does not know when he will begin, - implying that he is by no means troubled by the delay. Perhaps this unjust treatment might be endurable but for the fact that many of his men make their course in regard to second-year honors dependent, in great measure, upon the results of his examination. To them, every moment is precious, since the time that remains for their special work in classics is short...
...those who are pursuing some special course of study will be allowed to hold a proctorship. While agreeing that a change for the better can be made, we hope that the plan proposed, if we are rightly informed as to its aim, will not be adopted, because of its unjust discrimination. Men who have gone through college on scholarships and who enter the Law School, for example, need help then as much as at any previous time; and proctorships are almost the only resource, scholarships in the Law School being small and few. If any class is to be excluded...
