Grilk showed by the records of the Constitutional Convention that the framers originally favored a long term with ineligibility for re-election, and only adopted four years with re-eligibility as an incident of the Electoral College; today they would probably favor the affirmative. The evils of the present arrangement are: use of office-holders by the president for political purposes as Harrison used them at Minneapolis; failure to veto bad bills for fear of offending a section of the party, as shown by pension legislation; impossibility of dignified or effective foreign policy with such frequent changes of officers; damage...

The public, which draws inferences from the proportion of space devoted to different subjects, must come to false conclusions; and none will be more false than that which makes little...
...most exciting interclass baseball game in years was played on Friday between the senior and junior nines, resulting in an easy victory for the latter by a score of 12 to 4. Both classes had bands on the field and vied with each other in making noisy demonstrations in favor of their teams. During the game the seniors made a successful attempt to capture the large '96 flag and, in turn, the '95 flag was captured but re-taken. The whole contest brought out a fine display of class feeling and will be long remembered...
