...with much hesitation that the writer introduces once more into the columns of a college paper a subject so ancient and threadbare as the college goody. But he begs the reader to restrain his indignation for a moment, when he shall learn that the only reason for the writer's presumption is a laudable desire that this article may be the last upon the subject, and because after profound meditation he has hit upon a plan at once simple and effective for making the goody of to-day a thing of the past, and the goody of to-morrow...
