While it is to be hoped that the Forum have not permanently perished under the care of the Speakers' Club, the dispersion of the limited energy of the nature which the Forum had anticipated attracting to itself was sufficient to prevent the holding of a single meeting last year. The loss would perhaps not have been so great if a single one of the newer organizations had shown sufficient promise to replace the Forum. But with the Economics Society, the Political Science Club, the Socialist club, the Speakers' Club, and other...
...first place the idea exists among undergraduates that secret practice means literally practice conducted in absolute secrecy, with the intention of preventing any new plays from being carried away by the spectators and reaching the ears of our adversaries.

Allow this nation to face its own problems, protect its rights and liberties, establish justice from the laborer up, solve the problems for the true democracy, for ourselves and all nations, not the least for those nations...
