...these problems several interesting things came to light. It was found that the vote of the majority of the colleges favored the "Senate and House" form of student government; that is, a government run on the same plan as that of the country, with an upper house and a lower house, each with its distinct functions. There would also be an executive in the supervising Faculty Committee. Half of the members of this congress should be fraternity members, and half non fraternity men.

When those who are "higher up" in the college world, take it upon themselves to investigate the question "that the methods of conducting certain athletic sports make unreasonable demands upon the time of the student", it is time for those "lower down" in the college world to look to their "p's" and "q's" -- rather than their "D's" and "E's".

But now the attention is merely turned from test-tube and laboratory tissue to another object of study, in which the student becomes an observer of living man rather than of the lower animals or of dissection and microscopic pathology. Students usually consider that their most difficult years are behind them when they more definitely enter upon the work of the third and fourth years. The hours during the whole day are still accounted for in the curriculum by some occupation; study periods...
