While the reasons of the Corporation for tabooing the news stand in the Memorial Transept are now generally appreciated, there is still a tendency to blame the H. D. A. Committee for not allowing Alexander to continue as news agent inside the Hall. As a matter of fact this is not in the power of the Committee. Not only have the Corporation discountenanced a news stand in the Transept, but they have also refused to allow the Association to lease the privilege of selling papers in the Hall...
...really were a war and a call for volunteers, that a great many would respond in the same spirit. There always have been such men, doubtless there were in '61, and think what a revulsion they must have had then.

As I have talked over this matter a number of times with a member of the Corporation, perhaps I can express their views. In the first place they considered the scrap a brutal proceeding, one that was thoroughly inappropriate for Class Day which is a fete day when there are a crowd of ladies present. Of course...
