A friend wishes to obtain some to send to ladies<br \/>\nin Cambridge, Mass., Mrs.Pres.Eliot among the number. Copies are now<br \/>\nvery scarce, and we often have requests for them. I wish we had<br \/>\nhad more printed. If you can kindly send me a few, I will pay you<br \/>\nfor them. Of course you have heard the result of the new plan as it<br \/>\nappears in the rank of the Freshman class. Only three of the boys<br \/>\ntook an \u201cx\u201d and only three or four of the girls. The girls far out-<br \/>\nrank the boys, but are, I believe, below the average of girls in form-<br \/>\ner classes. Prof Hall told me this. I find so many people who agree<br \/>\nwith us in this matter. It is dark now, but brighter days are a-<br \/>\nhead, I am sure. The wrong will be righted.<\/p>\n<p>I wish you would draw up some sort of a constitution for us to<br \/>\ntake action upon next summer. It ought to be done <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">soon<\/span>, that there<\/p>\n<p>2&#8211;<br \/>\nmay be no delay when we meet to organize. We must meet on Monday<br \/>\nbefore the Trustees meet on Tuesday, as we may wish to present some<br \/>\ncommunication to them. Don\u2019t you think so? Now please think it over<br \/>\nand write something that we can easily agree to.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">You<\/span> are the one to do it.
