...amend. There are two methods and only two for amending; the one through the initiative of the Congress; which may from time to time, with the concurrence of two-thirds of each House, propose amendments; the other, through the initiative of two-thirds of the States, upon the call of whose legislatures the Congress shall provide for a Convention to propose amendments. However proposed, no amendment can become a part of the Constitution unless ratified by three-fourths of the States, by action of Legislature or Convention in each, respectively. All this is provided in Article V of the Constitution...
...life light heatedly, in fact facetiously. By far the longest story, "A Boola Banish Tale," although suggestive of the outline of a comic opera, is very amusing in its ingeniously extravagant setting and in its clever bits of dialogue.

In this twentieth century, do not judge a man by what he thinks or feels but by what he is and is doing...
...present year the committee has done little more than assure itself that the schemes of work of the men under charge are judiciously arranged. Immediately after the Christmas recess the committee will enter into more close personal relations with the students at present under its direction, and will also call the attention of undergraduates and particularly of members of the present Freshman class, to the opportunities afforded by the University for planning their work in future years in such manner as to make possible distinction at graduation...
