...method of meeting this evil, decision is certainly difficult. To us no plan seems better than that of trial by jury - the jury to be composed of members of the college. The plain is not without precedent, for already at Bowdoin it has been success fully tried. Also the Amherst Senate has shown itself capable of serving as a judicial body, though not specifically in matters of cribbing, yet in matters relating to general college offences. We believe that trial by jury would not only put a check on the practice itself of cribbing, but also eventually turn general opinion...
...print in another column the announcement of the preliminaries to the Boylston Prize speaking. The method of work pursued will be modeled on practical use as closely as possible.

Odell, '86, is the mainstay of Yale's hopes in the 220 yards dash. Odell has always been...
...writing, and solid satisfactory remuneration awaits success in this field. In these days when public speaking becomes absolutely necessary to public men, and when every man of determined opinions is at some time compelled to speak out those opinions, no opportunity ought to be neglected by which a better method of speaking may be obtained. The work of the Shakspere Club is admirably calculated to improve this method, and any success which may attain their work ought to be regarded as a benefit and an opportunity which may be used to attain better work.
