...matter of cheating at examinations, which the Conference Committee discussed at many meetings, and at considerable length. All wished to raise the tone of student honor, and if possible, to have the honor trusted, without proctors. But no practical scheme was discovered, and the subject was at last let drop...
...Memorial Hall. Here, it seems to me, is a chance for doing a great deal of good at little sacrifice. Almost everyone buys a daily paper. Instead of throwing these papers away when they have been read, it would be a matter of little trouble to drop them in the hospital box. And what is true of the daily papers, is true of the illustrated weeklies and periodicals. One has little idea how much pleasure it afforded to the patients in our hospitals by a picture-paper or an illustrated magazine of no matter what date. Why not make...

If a box could be placed by the door in Memorial Hall, where those passing out could drop their papers, some institutions would doubtless be very glad to make arrangements for taking them away every morning and evening. It would not take much effort to start this kind work and if it could be accomplished much good could be obtained form material that is now wasted...
