...remedy for this state of affairs seems obvious enough. If the undergraduates, beginning with the Sophomore class, largely desired to have a revival of the Common dining-hall such as Memorial Hall used to be, it would be possible.

A farm group in the west knock in vain at the doors of public intelligence to find they beat as against wind. The great issues lie on the shelves, gathering dust, while politicians parade pretty toys for the inveterate voters. They know that the intellectuals will be off deciding whether...
