EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- The recent dissolution of the Everett Athenaeum emphasizes the fact that there is need of a sophomore society for our college. The Institute makes no pretensions to literary effort and represents but one-third of the class. This leaves two hundred men without a society. No one will deny that there is plenty of room for two more societies, and one of them at least should be literary in character. There is much literary ability in Harvard which is discouraged during the first half of the college course or remains wholly uncultivated. It is not right that men of such tastes should not have a chance to develop themselves. The college papers offer now the only opportunities to such men, but it is evident that these cannot satisfy the need. It is with a view to remedy this evil that the suggestion is made about a literary society for sophomores. Such an organization should have in it a social element, yet it should not be so strong as to exclude men of literary ability for the sake of personal friends. A society of this kind could not fail to be successful, and would be a great addition to our college life. If the suggestion seems good, will not the upper classmen interest themselves in the matter?
