...effected so that the season of 1884-5 may see the yard in a little better condition after any rain or thaw. This subject is a wearisome one but the desired object can only be obtained by showing the authorities how much the students object to these too frequent wettings...
...intricate questions of political economy. They must have a definite point to decide on or two men to choose between, and then their decision or their choice can be relied on. We must therefore throw the power and with it the responsibility on one man; with our frequent elections there is no danger in this.

While the ground, necessarily, is gone over more rapidly than by the old method, it is yet covered fully as thoroughly, while, what is of more importance, a real interest is kept up from the more frequent recitations. The amount of work done in them, we believe, fully equals that done by the old method. Moreover, when once the course is completed, the men are free to take similar courses which run to the end of the college year, and this is an obvious gain...
