...word "janitor" at the beginning of this article, he will perhaps be tempted to leave it at once without reading. The subject has certainly been often treated of, but of late such new annoyances have arisen that the attention of the authorities is demanded to institute at least partial reforms before another year. We fail entirely to see what services the average janitor performs that he should be entitled to the respectable remuneration that he receives.

Still, as I have said, the failure is but partial. I believe that a system of self-government by the students can be formed which will be popular, effective and broad enough in its scope to escape the odium which has become attached to our form...
