...courses in History or Mathematics. The students have suffered this imposition for two years already, and it may last several more unless they protest. If the college is in need of funds, it is certainly not fair to raise them by imposing extra fees on men who can ill afford to pay them. The writer of this article will not profit by any change in this matter, but he would like to see redressed, an abuse that has lasted long enough...

The sod is in anything but a flourishing condition, and can ill afford to bear the wear and tear which the continual tramping of men will bring upon it. Especially do these remarks apply to the baseball field which has recently been sodden at the expense of the nine, and which must receive special care if any of the championship games are to be played...
