Professor Pickering, in his introductory address to the President, makes an urgent appeal for money, and details some of the pressing needs of the Observatory, among which is the demand for funds for the care of the collection of 182,277 photographs. This collection is unique and gives the only existing history of the stellar universe for the past 20 years. Fire-proof buildings are especially needed for the library, photographic laboratory and the workshop. The total number of volumes and of pamphlets in the library on October 1, 1905, was 11,459 and 24,474, respectively...
...response thus far made to the urgent calls for more candidates for the University football team has been exceedingly disappointing. At present there are so few line men out as to seriously hinder the trying out of the men for other positions. Will not the student body take hold of the matter and see to it that every able-bodied player reports at once? The prospects for a successful season are not bright and only the hardest effort on the part of the University at large can help us out of the difficulty. W. T. REID, JR. D. J. HURLEY...

We do not think that under existing circumstances the dignity of Harvard University should be bartered for immunity from the molestations of such a society...
...perhaps hardly realized that, besides our general and unavoidable expenses, we have to meet many urgent special demands. Within a few years the fence about Soldiers Field must be completed, at very considerable cost. The question of the removal of the Trophy Room to the Union has for some time been in abeyance for financial reasons. The changes made in the coaching of rowing and football have entailed additional expense, and the suggestions of fresh changes point much further in the same direction. One of the most pressing things of all is the necessity of enlarging the portion of Soldiers...
