...action of the mass-meeting in Holden last evening was eminently wise, and will without doubt meet with the approbation of the students at large. The Conference Committee is doing good work, but there is little doubt that it is the will of the students that a committee which is elected for conference only shall not have executive power. It may be urged that the basis of representation pursued in the choice of the conference committee will be unjust to the lower classes, if followed in the election of a committee like the yard committee, which will be brought into...
...combined society has ever given. Success in rendering instrumental music is more worthy of commendation then equal excellence in vocal work, since the labor and skill required in instrumental playing is much greater than in singing. The great part of the success of last evening's entertainment is without doubt due to the earnest endeavors of Mr. Forchheimer.

Never have the prospects for a successful year been brighter...

...withal accurate and scholarly. To many of us these lectures have been of great practical usefulness. The harmful effects which are produced by ignorance, and a lack of proper care for our physical well-being have been put before our eyes so forcibly that there can be no doubt but that the seed has fallen on fertile soil. The last lecture of the course promises to be of unusual interest, and the attendance to-night should be even larger than it has been in the past...
