...Conference Committee will be elected on Friday, Oct. 16, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in Sever 10. Each senior voting will write the names of five members of '86 on a slip of paper and sign his own name. Each junior voting will write the names of four members of '87, and each sophomore the names of three members of '88. Unsigned ballots will not be counted. There will be a separate ballot-box for each class bearing the class number...
...elected from the sophomore class, provided sufficient merit is shown by the candidates. Eighty-eight has not by any means been backward in contributing to the paper, but the trouble has been in lack of perseverance. Because a communication is rejected is no reason why a candidate should cease writing, on the contrary it ought to cause him to redouble his efforts, and write until an article is accepted. Communications on timely topics, articles on almost any subject connected with educational, college or athletic matters, are sure to find a place in our columns if they are well written...
...year '85-'86; $5 for the best poem contributed during the year '85-'86." The first thing notable is that poetry is at a discount, doubtless because the editors who offer the prize, wish to defend themselves, knowing too well that the "wild eyed" poets need little incentive to write.

Then, too, in time the poorer motive of money may lead to that higher and truer motive whereby men are prompted to write from very pleasure, and from their actually having something to write about. Here at Harvard, literary activity is the exception rather than the rule. Still it is true that in this respect, the present year goes far ahead of many previous years, Let us hope that next year will outstrip...
...subject absolutely prevents it from being compressed into the answers to a few questions. It is only the smatterer who can do this; the real student, with all the details, the arguments for and against, the side views, and dependent hypotheses before him, finds that he must write a book if he would answer only a single question adequately, and that to require him to jot down even the outlines of answers to half a dozen questions within the limit of three or four hours, shows either ignorance or imbecility. To pass an examination with success, we must not know...
