...annual Northfield Religious Conferences are merely held on the school grounds during vacations, are not part of the school year. Northfield being needy and this its semicentennial year, there is now in progress a drive for $3,000,000 to increase faculty pay, provide a teacher-retirement fund, secure upkeep for the physical property. Last week President Speer was happy to announce that one-half of the fund had been raised, that an appeal for funds had been laid before Edward Stephen Harkness, a seemingly inexhaustible source of educational charity ($26.000,000 to Yale and Harvard in three years...
...charges demanded of the student for the privilege of using the athletic equipment. Football games are the chief source of revenue for the H. A. A. and the proceeds are used to help support other forms of athletics. The stadium receipts, however are not used for the entire upkeep of other sports but merely sustain the heaviest losses incurred by crew and other non-paying activities...
...brought about by issuing a coupon book similar to the present H. A. A. book but designed solely for the participator. The coupons could pay for lockers towels and the maintenance of athletic equipment.

A system such as this would do much to eliminate the present inequalities in the athletic...
Presumably friends support the honest Scot.

Scot MacDonald no longer has Daimler or its endowment, now uses a Vauxhall...
...incorporated still further into traditional Harvard. With a gradual increase in the numbers of its students each year, the University might install special Registration Turnstiles in Memorial Hall, fitted to receive payment for term bills, Harvard Union memberships, and organized charity. Ten cents could be charged for the upkeep of this convenience and a slot modeled on the Subway plan could be arranged for its reception. Indeed if the Harvard of later years becomes definitely turnstile-minded, the obsequious machine might be put to good use in checking up on class-room attendance and keep the monitors permanently...
