We admit that we have never belonged to a base-ball nine, that we are prejudiced, and that we perhaps even deserve to be called squeamish, but still we cannot help objecting to the practice. From an aesthetic point of view blouses of gray trimmed with crimson are not beautiful, and we have been told that one of the advantages gained by boarding in Memorial Hall is the refinement given by the artistic surroundings. Our second objection, it is true, is a weak one, but still is an objection. Unreflecting people might...
...direct opposition to the principles of voluntary recitation; for surely, if a student is qualified to decide whether he will attend recitations, he is also qualified to decide whether he can profitably elect courses which occasionally conflict. No matter how great the care taken in arranging the Tabular View, it often happens that two valuable courses have one hour a week, or, in the case of Fine Arts 2 and English 6, one hour a fortnight, in common.

Work will be begun on breaking the ground during vacation probably, and once under way will be pushed rapidly forward. Still, as the building cannot be very far advanced by Class Day, we-think that in thus picturing it, we are responding to a general desire, expressed by Seniors particularly; a desire to have an idea, before leaving Harvard for many...
