...fact of the matter is, and it is universally acknowledged, the Board of Directors at Memorial Hall is nothing but a "figure-head." The real managers of the institution have been the steward and the corporation. Therefore, in all fairness, no great part of the blame of failure could be imputed to the directors. It is time that the patrons of Memorial, in concert with the directors, should try to enforce this fact upon the corporation. Divided or hidden responsibility means no responsibility. Let the management of the hall be placed in the hands of an absolutely responsible manager...
...smoothly yet, the board will be better and the price lower. The first important measure for the committee, or whoever has the care of such matters, is to prosecute a strict inquiry as to the cause for the present stampede, and if any person or persons are to blame, to make known the fact.

For it is beginning to be felt that possibly there are or soon will be better uses to which to apply the liberal endowments of her benefactors than even the finest and most satisfactory buildings. As soon as the new law school, the medical school and the physical...
...freshman Music Hall affair. For, as a matter of fact, the party of men from '85 who attended Mr. Wilde's recent performance did not represent the freshman class, as a class, by any means; and so really the freshman class is quite innocent of either praise or blame in the matter, and, I am sure, is very unwilling to pluck any of their hardearned laurels from the brows of their sixty (or forty) classmates. Nevertheless, they will, without doubt, feel willing to let their deed pass for our traditional theatre visit, if these agree, and consider the matter well...
