...business in hand, notwithstanding a severe drawback. This drag upon a business meeting, which ought to be conducted with decision and readiness, has, strange to say, been the very person elected to further the purposes of the meeting. In a word, the presiding officers of our meetings don't know how to preside. The painful, not to say pitiful ignorance of parliamentary rules displayed by most of them (for there are exceptions) is deplorable.

We happen to know that at Princeton there is a man for this purpose, and that the mucker nuisance does not exist there. Such a man could also take charge of the police force at all games, and see that the crowds are kept out-which certainly has never been done yet. Successful thefts have been made through the windows of ground floor rooms, and it is a wonder there are not more; these would...
