...hemorrhage, if not promptly attended to, proves fatal, as a rule. Its symptoms, though sometimes concealed, are usually visible, these being weakness of pulse, difficult respiration, coldness in extremities, and clammy perspiration.

The plain is not without precedent, for already at Bowdoin it has been success fully tried. Also the Amherst Senate has shown itself capable of serving as a judicial body, though not specifically in matters of cribbing, yet in matters relating to general college offences. We believe that trial by jury would not only put a check on the practice itself of cribbing, but also eventually turn general opinion...
