When Friday morning came, Teal, acting on instructions, telegraphed to the real freshmen that he had missed the train and would not go to Ithaca till 9 P. M. This gave the '86 men time to get to Tremeansburg and lulled the '87's into an unsuspecting confidence...

...statement takes up the duties of the various officers and states them clearly. It ought to be remembered that the "directors are the mouth-piece of the members at large. They receive and act upon any suggestions, hear and investigate all complaints and in general constitute a means of communication between the members and the officers to whom the actual details of management are entrusted." Concerning such suggestions and complaints, a good deal might be said.
