...delivery, annually published and distributed by the Peace Societies of England and America. Of Sumner's speech on "The Crime Against Kansas," given in the United States Senate on May 19, 1856, fully a million copies were circulated. It was reprinted and widely distributed in England. In this respect it may be said of Sumner: "He fired the shot heard round the world." This speech was never answered in debate. The bludgeon of the slave power in the hands of Preston Brooks was the only weapon by which it was not assailed. But the attack on Sumner awakened the slumbering...
...establishment of the honor system should be regarded as an extreme measure, to be reluctantly applied in spite of its obvious disadvantages, when student opinion is confessedly so rotten, or so puerile, as to make a general reformation in this respect the object of desperate experiment. It may be seriously questioned, however, whether inefficient or insufficient proctoring, like inefficient or insufficient police, is not the most to blame for lawlessness...
...another respect the present administration is to be congratulated. From the very first it has stood for the most complete co-operation with the undergraduate body.

...Eaton '00, who has established an honorable position for himself in the world of American letters, especially in the field of criticism, opens the number with a forceful plea that proper respect be paid the professions of theatrical manager, playwright, or actor. He is right. We may say what we will of the degeneracy of the stage. The theatre will remain where it is until educated, high-minded men, realizing its almost unlimited possibilities as a factor in the up-lifting of our ideals, have the courage to make its improvement their life work...
Without maintaining that the Chapel is perfect in every respect or that the student attendance is as large as it should be (certainly, too few men go regularly on week-day mornings), we believe that the Advocate's indictment is more severe than the facts of the case warrant. For example, the attendance figures for last year show an average on Sunday morning of 171 students and 168 others; a total of 339. This year the average has been: students, 265; others, 290; a total of 555. Apparently, then, the Chapel is not a decaying institution as far as attendance...
