...Institute of 1770 held an interesting debate recently on the subject: "Resolved, That an executive committee ought to be appointed from the college to confer with the faculty on subjects of interest to the students," and decided the question in the affirmative. This may be taken as showing the opinion of the students in this matter. The opinion of the faculty, or at least the more liberal and progressive portion of that body, it may be stated. is almost identical with that of the students. Several professors, who on all subjects affecting the interests of the students are appointed...
...Trinity Tablet advocates the formation of an inter-collegiate tennis association by such of the New England colleges as are within reasonable distances of each other, and desires an expression of opinion on this point from the different colleges.

Efforts are continually being made to have it abolished, and it is thought that in a few years it will be done away with...
...only reason given for this is that "the president likes to have the chapel filled up." This restriction, which forces girls of every shade of belief to spend their time ostensibly given them for personal religious culture in listening to expositions of the tenets of that form of religious opinion, "whose bulwarks are the Trinity on one side and hell on the other," is held by Vassar students to be their one great grievance in the matter of "religious discipline." Daily chapel is not, on the whole, regarded as an infliction. Vassar does not object to the quantity...
