W.EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON.: - From all the injustices which fill our lives both in the outside world and in college you may be surprised that I should select such a trifling one for mention as the following may appear to be. But I assure you, to me it does not seem so unimportant. We have here in college a praise-worthy zeal in preserving quiet and order; but we also take a curious way to apply it. For instance, all disturbances in a private room are instantly checked, the moment the sound thereof reaches the precise proctor...
...speak of the President of the United States, I desire to mention as the most interesting, pleasant and characteristic feature of our system of government the nearness of the people to their president and all their high officials. The close view given the citizens of the acts and conduct of those to whom they have entrusted their interests, serves as a regulator and check upon temptation in official life; and it teaches that diligence and faithfulness are the true measures of public duty. [Loud applause, cheers, and cries of "Good! good."] Such a relation between the people and their president...
...kind hospitality shown to the senior class last Thursday evening is a matter we take upon ourselves to thus publicly mention, not only as a sign of our sincere appreciation of the warmhearted interest shown in our behalf, but also because it is a token of the height upon which education is now dawning.

I am sure that we freshmen are always glad to have any junior or senior...
...unheard-of thing; it has neglected to join the H. A. A. We quote the following extract from the by-laws of the Athletic Association. "No member of the university shall be permitted to witness any sports unless he be a member of the association." To make no mention of the handicap meeting, it will thus be seen how near '90 came to finding itself barred not only from witnessing, but also from competing in its own games. As a membership ticket to the H. A. A. is good as long as its owner lives, and admits to the Winter...
