Freshmen, of necessity, cannot be well acquainted with their classmates; they practically know nothing about the men whom they are voting for and run the risk of electing a man, whom no one can depose, to an office, the responsibility of which is felt by the whole college...
...CAMBRIDGE DAILY.- Cambridge has, at last, what has long been needed, a first-class local evening paper, called THE CAMBRIDGE DAILY. It has been running for about six weeks, and is now well established. It is well filled with all the local news, of which it prints from three to six columns a day.

With the abolition of the arbitrary system by which the crew was controlled last year and the appointment of a competent advisory committee, there is no reason why Harvard should not turn out a good crew this year from the excellent material now in college. Unless the tables are turned soon, the interest in rowing...
