...college presidents. As the Independent said recently, in urging a permanent endowment for the Bureau of Municipal Research, "Attempts at reform have failed in New York and elsewhere because the Republican and Democratic Tammany Halls of our cities have had inside information and have been able to make black look white because the general public was not informed. Reform is discredited in American cities because its devotees have informed neither themselves nor the public as to the essential facts of community needs and government results. Checks and panaceas of every description have been tried--everything but a constant light; everything...
...understand that there is still some doubt as to the advisability of publishing the black-list of persons whose Yale game tickets were found in the hands of speculators. An incorrect list printed without giving those blacklisted sufficient time to offer and, if possible, to prove a defence would lead to many injustices. The odium of speculation would be attached to unfortunates whose names had been forged or whose friends had lost their tickets.

...student body. We do not wonder even that the restriction includes the color of the ink. That the minds of a public liable to excitement should be inflamed by the announcement of a concert, or of a debate, on a placard printed in colors other than red and black, would be an offence against order. It is doubtless unwise that there should be any person in the audience of a College entertainment who is not a friend of one of the performers. The prescribed method of advertising of course limits the audience to such persons, and is presumably salutary...
