...real strength of the senate remains for the future to test; and the longer a general quiescence delays this, the more Amherst is to be congratulated. The past has proved, however, that the senate is entirely practicable; the judgments, while few, have not been made hastily, nor to the detriment of the college; the senate has not proved more lenient than the faculty; the latter have been entirely satisfied with its workings; and the growing popularity of the plan at Amherst and at other colleges is a good omen for the success and an increase in the powers...

It is unfortunate that this second break in elocutionary instruction should follow so closely upon the confusion caused by the departure of Mr. Riddle earlier in the year. Appointments were interfered with, and the remaining instructors overburdened with work, to the great detriment of all concerned. In numerous instances last fall, men whose appointments were to be made with Mr. Riddle did not finally begin to receive instruction, after the rearrangement and appointment of Mr. Jones, until near the Christmas vacation. Now, after two-thirds of the year are passed (nearly half...
