...arrangements are nearly completed, and that the celebration will probably occur late in the coming fall. Notwithstanding these facts, however, we would strongly encourage the plan that both undergraduates and alumni take some active part in the exercises of the day, besides enjoying the addresses of the no doubt eloquent speakers, to whom it will be their good fortune to listen...
...Perhaps the enthusiasm has been merely dormant, and is to awake to much greater intensity during these last three days of the week. Most earnestly do we hope that this is the case.

The custom pursued in the Technology meetings of calling each event at a stipulated time despite possible absences, might not result in a satisfactory solution of the problem, but there is little doubt that sharper, more interesting work would be elicited by this plan. It is also to be hoped that tumultuous expressions of approval or disapproval will be restrained to the utmost limit. We feel enough respect for our own opinion to believe that if these suggestions are followed the last meeting will...
