...many students now in college could express an opinion, satisfactory to themselves even, on questions of public interest, or feel qualified to decide on any, but the most common questions of parliamentary usage? The necessity and desirability of something that will stimulate individual investigation on all such matters, cannot fail to be recognized by every thinking student. The most extended college curriculum can furnish but a small proportion of the knowledge necessary for a liberal education, and unless special efforts are made, by the students themselves, to supplement their regular studies, many will find that a diploma...

This examination will be upon the day preceeding the beginning of the following term. If a student fail to pass at this special examination, he will be required to try again at a session of the next succeeding semi-annual examination, and failing at this, at the next...

In recognition...
...should be said that, in so far as any ill feeling or danger to the participants was concerned, the affair was harmless and worthy but little attention. Coming as it did, however, soon after the hazing affairs at Princeton, and the rough and tumble rush at Yale, it cannot fail to draw down upon the college a great mass of unkind criticism. The city press is only too glad to magnify the most trivial college scrapes until they assume the dignified proportions of a riot, as many of our sister colleges can testify, and as the Boston press reports...
