...Australian ballot system has been adopted in a number of states, and will undoubtedly spread rapidly over the whole union. But will this Australian system do away with bribery? The experience of Australia and England tends to prove the contrary. Closely connected to a ballot reform is a much needed reform in the registration. In most states the registration laws are extremely lax; the registration lists are changed very rarely, and the result is that men who are dead or have changed their residence, shall figure on the old lists. This naturally leads to "personating," a matter very difficult...
...challenged in order that college athletics may be purified as far as possible. As for the unfairness of our protesting four of Princeton's men on purely professional grounds we fail to see the strength of Princeton's objection since a like privilege belongs to her.

A portion of the fence remains to be set up and the planking is yet to be laid on the Cambridge end of the bridge; this work will probably be finished within three weeks, when the bridge will be practically complete. The house to accommodate the draw tender and cover the draw machinery is not yet built, but its construction will not delay the opening of the bridge; the same can be said of the asphalt pavement...
