...severe in its condemnation of the practice. College men are just beginning to realize the folly and harmfulness of longer indulgence in hazing. A growth of tolerance in public sentiment in this matter is greatly to be desired, but any further laxness in college sentiment in the same respect is a result far more to be deplored. The college student can bring himself to forego hazing very easily, if he sees the advantage of so doing, and the very manifest advantages of such a course must become more and more evident to him as he sees the really harmful results...
Williams has been more fortunate than Harvard with respect to the matter of board. The faculty has recently made arrangements by which board is given at the College Hall for less than cost. The rent of certain college rooms is appropriated towards reducing the price of board, and the actual cost per month, after the reduction, is divided among the students. So liberal an arrangement could not be otherwise than popular, and the accommodations of the hall are full, thus securing a permanent success for the plan.

But if we would take a more positive stand, if we would all cease to regard with a smile the rehearsal of a man's loss of self respect, if the time should come when a man shall no longer consider that he is advancing himself in social esteem by allowing himself to forget his manliness, but that he is on the contrary making himself an object of pity, more good would be wrought than the best framed pledges...
...well understood term, of broadness that would not be tolerated in Harvard journalism. We could readily give illustrations of this fact, but it would be useless; all who have read co-educational college papers must have noticed it. We do not wish to be rude, but with all due respect for girls who seek an education equal to that furnished their more privileged brothers, we say bluntly to the doctor of divinity that we do not believe co-education is the good that its advocates claim...
