...year, and a good idea, in that the college at large may see what they are to pay for, how their money goes, and that as little as possible of it is wasted. Such an estimate would be of service in the fall, for then the report of the actual expenditures can be compared with it, and men can see how nearly they tally with the estimated expenses...
...directly for those who wrote them. It is true that a writer of a part could probably get Mr. Briggs to recommend his subject to Dr. Royce, who, in turn, would probably allow the substitution of this part for the long thesis. But this is mere supposition, as no actual provision, as far as we can learn, has been made for commencement parts.

Says President Bartlett of Dartmouth, "We believe in government by the faculty." Coming from President Bartlett, such a statement perhaps is not surprising. In hearing it, one is led to think of all the great tyrants of history, who in their lives-if not in actual words-have said, "We believe in ourselves, and in government by ourselves." Not that we would, in speaking thus, imply that we think there is an exact similarity between the tyrants of early times, and the college faculties of to-day-although times have been when we have had no small reasons...
