...movement has been started in college to revive the old and form new clubs for the purpose of extending Princeton's reputation, and of inducing men to enter here. There has been already formed a New England club, and Ohio Club, a North-Eastern Club, and a club of the men from the Middle States, and a movement is on foot for the organization of a Southern Club. It is thought that these clubs will materially aid Princeton, and increase the number of students as well as be a source of much enjoyment to the members...
...regretted that every man in college was not within reach of the speaker's voice. It is the plain truth that a grave responsibility rests upon the students of Harvard; upon every freshman as well as upon every senior. The present system of prayers was the result of a movement among the students, and with the students alone rests the question of success or failure.

The finale was a very joyful composition. The whole was given with much life, but not with the delicacy...
...faculty's prohibition of practice with professionals. We have been handicapped long enough by this regulation and must do something to bring about a change. The faculty's position will prove untenable if we only assail it. The first necessity is some one to start the movement. The faculty will never raise their veto unless they are asked. Occasional editorials in college papers or hints in student assemblies have no weight. What is needed is an aroused public sentiment, such as will show itself in mass meetings and monster petitions. This course was what won our voluntary prayer system...
