We will announce the next lecture, which it is said will be delivered by Mr. Franklin H. Sargent, Director of the New York School of Acting. We congratulate the Shakspere Club on the success of their exertions, and trust that Sanders will not hold the audience...
...upon the resolution that those students guilty of cribbing should be tried before the Conference Committee, having right, however, to appeal to the faculty in case of verdict of guilty. There were three distinct lines of thought expressed.

A few agreed in the general force of these arguments...
