...class day, the comparative privacy and strictly college character of the exercises and company. All admire and are willing to aid the energy of those who strive to earn money in various ways sufficient to defray their expenses while at college, but it does seem as if men might forego the pleasure of money-making for at least one day of the year, and that the very last day of the college course...
...folly and harmfulness of longer indulgence in hazing. A growth of tolerance in public sentiment in this matter is greatly to be desired, but any further laxness in college sentiment in the same respect is a result far more to be deplored. The college student can bring himself to forego hazing very easily, if he sees the advantage of so doing, and the very manifest advantages of such a course must become more and more evident to him as he sees the really harmful results that so often follow the practice.

In the face of the deficit and debt the professors will forego their scanty salaries, and other expenses can be somewhat reduced; but it is doubtful whether the school can be carried on entirely without endowment. The school has no endowment whatever, not even a building. It pays rent, in the form of interest on its debt, for the house it occupies...
