...know to what club or fraternity these men belong, but if a better argument were lacking for doing away with public initiations by those clubs to which age or other virtues may have given a certain prestige, such imitations of their ways as I saw last night ought to make us give up the whole silly business.

Another objection to the present system is that after the first election there is no interest in class meetings. Such meetings well conducted might provide a training in the business of a deliberative assembly which is sadly needed. A presiding officer who knows how business ought to be done, and tries to do it properly, meets anything but encouragement from the unparliamentary fashion in which business is presented. This tendency to let things slide--to rest content with results, and sometimes with no results--has its influence on a great number of our college enterprises. We collect our athletic subscriptions...
...ought to find some way to improve a system which is subject to two such serious objections. The Freshman class ought to consider the matter very carefully.

This would bring the class to its Senior election with a variety of candidates more or less trained...

There is no doubt that some men go to a university for the sake of playing on university teams, their education being made endurable only by this prospect. While we are legislating, therefore, we ought to exclude all men who come from the secondary schools solely for athletics. The difficulty is to find out who they are, as it is impossible to know the motives of a man when he registers. One thing that could be done would be to discourage the solicitation and procurement...
