...society on a firm financial basis, and we think we express the sentiment of all under-graduates when we say that the business of the society has never been carried in a manner more satisfactory to the students than it has been this fall, and that we all feel indebted to the able superintendent who has brought the society to its present flourishing condition. The fact that the society could afford as early in the year as this to refund several hundred dollars is a strong and pleasing proof of its success...
...President Porter's resignation was a great surprise to all; not because it was not to be expected in the near future, but because it has come with so little warning, just at this time. Probably no one will feel that his reasons for asking to be relieved of his burden some duties are not of the best, but on every hand regret is expressed that it is necessary that he should retire from the active government of the college.

...reconsider his resignation. It will be a serious blow to the college to lose the services of its present head, and few gentlemen can be found who will quite fill his place. The scholarly president whose work for his college has made it a power throughout the country, can feel assured that his labors for the past fourteen years among the students of Yale will not be forgotten. His work is its own reward. And if he feels that he should still persist in his present action, we trust that no effort will be spared to engage a gentleman...
