...Student Council has now been in active operation since 1908. It was established then with the express purpose of co-operating with the Faculty in the endeavor to raise the general intellectual standard, and particularly to bring before the governing authorities of the University the complete expression of undergraduate opinion, whatever form that opinion might take. In addition, the petition presented to the Faculty concerning the establishment of a student council, brought up the important mission it would have in helping the Athletic Committee in eradicating any of the evils that might crop out in the conduct of athletics...
...unpoetically, a somewhat familiar thought. Mr. A. Putnam, in his "Retrospect," gives one--perhaps mistakingly--the feeling that he is putting together cleverly but mechanically a poetical puzzle picture made of pieces sawed out of other men's poems.

The person who has not a university training almost invariably judges the man who has by his ability to express himself, orally and in writing. It is surprising to many business men how few recent college graduates can write even clear and cogent business letters. The work of Mr. Hersey in the Business School has shown that even men who have added to their undergraduate work two years of professional...
