...what seems to me a wise and timely suggestion, namely, to found a university society, whose aim shall be to bring together more intimately, professor and student. I observed a comment on this same suggestion in one of the Boston papers of to-day, which seems to touch the matter closely. Now that we are a full-fledged university with that larger and broader freedom which attends such station, it is wise to merit this big title by a character equally as big.

If a man cannot keep time in one case, he certainly cannot in the other. It is not inability, however,; that causes the trouble...
...hard and trained faithfully during last winter and spring, it is only fitting that their classmates should present them with some substantial token of their appreciation. A very small contribution from each member of the class will suffice. We trust that eighty-nine will recognize the importance of this matter, and thus save themselves from the charge of ingratitude and indifference...
