...Herford will speak in Sever 11 this evening, by special request, on "Some Differences between American and English Life." Dr. Herford's position in the community is sufficient to warrant an interesting conference, and he is eminently qualified to treat this subject, being an Englishman by birth and having spent many years in this country. This is the last time Dr. Herford will speak before the undergraduates, as his official connection with the college ends this week, and he returns next month to England. It is unfortunate that the conference comes on the same night as the Glee Club Concert...
...smaller clubs at Harvard was felt for some time before measures were finally taken two years ago to supply it. The plans which were then proposed were a trifle too elaborate; they were none too great in proportion to the need, but a trifle beyond what consverative estimates would warrant. The consequence was, that last year the Union of Clubs was unable to continue longer on the same plan as before and, as an organization, practically went to pieces...
...excursion tickets to Springfield last year were good only on the special trains so that anyone who wished to avoid the crowd, or to go up before hand, was compelled to pay full fare both ways. Now fully enough fellows take the regular trains to warrant some effort at securing better rates for them.

All that is needed is for someone to lay the matter before the railroad...
...Russell's administration does not warrant his re-election. - (a) He has courted popularity to the detriment of his official duties. - (b) - Such little official activity as he has shown has been frequently repugnant to the pledges and principles on which he claimed election a year ago, e. g., his re novals and appointments, and his creation of commissions. - (c) He has neglected to destroy or even weaken the "lobby" evil; Lodge's speech in Boston Herald of Sept. 17, 1891, Lodge's speech in Boston Herald of Sept. 24. Guild's speech in Boston Herald of Sept...
...unlikely, we imagine, that the association will repeat its mistake of last year of not having its support assured beforehand. We understand that already enough funds have been secured to warrant the carrying on of the arrangements. To ensure success, however, the association will need far more generous support from the college. The work of the Cycling Association is a direct aid in the development of our material for the track athletic games with Yale and the other colleges. If our college recognized this fact more plainly, we should not now have to urge its more loyal support...
