Governor Leche has become publisher of the Hammond Progress (Hammond is a town of 6,000 in the strawberry belt). which now has readers and advertisers all over the State.

Cause enough may easily be found for these cries, for with a clatter of pails, a slop of a peculiarly unpleasant liquid, and the swish of many brushes, the avalanche of painters are upon...
...University is to make any real progress in cleaning the grimy spot of Freshman Advising from its escutcheon, something more better than seniors, who are interested in their own problems, out of touch with the Yard, and unused to winding their way through all the highways and byways of the University catalogue, will have to be found.
