...cannot refrain from commenting on the conduct of an Examiner, who was present at a recitation in English 2 one morning this week. At the close of the recitation this gentleman expressed to the class his dissatisfaction with the way the elective was conducted, advocating reading with expression, and going over less work in the course of the year. The instructor, in defending himself, said that his idea was to go over as much ground in the course as possible, and not to attempt fine elocution and expression in reading. A discussion followed before the division, in which the Examiner...
...well as others have heard the dissatisfaction that has been expressed at the close of each tournament, - a dissatisfaction which arises, we are sure, from a misunderstanding, and which would be much diminished were the conditions clearly known by which these meetings are governed.

We wait with the greatest anxiety to hear the decision of the Corporation in this matter, and we know that our suspense is shared by a very large number in all classes...
WITH the not far distant close of winter will end the season of our discontent. We are nearly through with those months of the year when there is nothing else to do but grumble. The bell that summons us to our semiannuals rings to-morrow for the last time. Henceforth we must look for something else to attack. Plank walks between Matthews and University, complaints about the Library, lamentations over the squeaking boots of proctors, have all afforded stanch material for dissatisfaction to the College papers. While we should be the first to welcome changes for the better in these...
