...aggravating at times, still we must consider that the faculty in making the changes act with a greater insight in the matter than we as students can possibly have. We had better then acquiesce, and trust that if we individually are losers, that there are others who reap advantage from the changes...
...that a change to psychology is hardly necessary, as course 2 gives sufficient elementary instruction in that line of study. The advanced courses for special investigation in metaphysics, ethics and psychology, are more elaborate, and are more systematically arranged than formerly. Past students in Philosophy 4 will no doubt reap much advantage from the deeper study of ethical subjects which they can obtain by taking course 8, which will not be confined as previously, to the writings of Hegel. We are glad to see, on the whole, that the improvements in the important department of philosophy have kept pace with...

True, all future events are determined...

Moreover, the promise of the management that, in case this necessary money should be raised, the society placed on a firm basis with an assured capital would, in all probability, become permanent, ought to prompt more men to add to the voluntary subscription list, that they may reap the benefits of co-operation in future years. Selfish motives alone ought to be inducement enough to more than make up the small sum now needed, but without which the society cannot hope to continue in its present sphere of usefulness...
