What the University seeks to develop by its laissez faire policy is the versatility of mind which will embrace many fields, which eagerly gives ear to new opinions, which analyses, and holds dear its criterion of right and wrong...

...current issue of the Lampoon it is difficult to favor one morsel over another. Great credit must be accorded the artist whose creation decorates the cover. One man at present faces the world, and like all those who face the footlights, he must also face the music. In the Lampoon the strains are gentle and pleasing, without "Life's" harshness; yet they have a penetrating power peculiar to their composers, as in the case of his Excellency with one foot on the rail...
