...members of the University are invited to make use of the communication column of the CRIMSON for the expression of their opinions in regard to the coming Presidential election. This is not intended to make the CRIMSON the battlefield on which the opposing factions may hurl personal invectives and rant about preparedness or pacifism as the spirit may move them, but to give an opportunity of expressing themselves to those men who might no otherwise be heard from...
...report of H. S. Thompson '99, treasurer of the Union for the half-year ending February 28, 1911, is given below.

No, children, it is not a Mu-tu-al Ad-mi-ra-tion So-ci-e-ty. It is only an As-so-ci-a-tion for the Man-u-fac-ture of Soft Soap. See how they Slap one-an-other on the back, and cry "We are the Cheese." No, you must not tell them to Cheese...
