With our vacation just over and the midyears looming up before us, like a dark cloud on the horizon, we naturally feel that we are indeed in the very midst of the stern realities of student life, and, just as naturally, we are somewhat prone to resent any attempts to impose any extra work upon our already overburdened shoulders. But just at this critical time, the Juniors and Sophomores are fiddled with dismay at the announcement that a theme will be required from them on Wednesday next. Well, the ingenuity displayed by our instructors in selecting inopportune moments for springing...
...ability in their contributions. We regret that as yet we have seen little evidence of this ability, but we still hope that the ability in question is not wanting, but only dormant. It is true that we have received several contributions which have been satisfactory, but we do not feel called upon to make our choice of editors from such a small number of competitors.

We do not take this action as an attempted defence of the advisory committee or any one else, but as exponents of a gentlemanly settlement of difficulties without descending to disagreeable personalities and vilification in public newspapers...
...could draw up a satisfactory list of students. The President, the Dean, and three or four of the professors tried it, but everyone was dissatisfied with everybody else's list. And from a few students, to whom the lists were shown, they elicited only laughter. This made the committee feel very shaky; they thought that perhaps the conference committee is after all impracticable, and some other scheme might better be devised...
