...habit of stamping. As a means of expressing approval or disapproval of what a lecturer says, the use of a pair of large and hardy feet (organs indispensable in many emergencies) is absurd. Men of impulsive natures with frequent and acute temptations to stamp in lectures, should practice self-restraint. If they must give vent to their feelings let them lock themselves in their rooms after the lecture is over, and calling to mind all the humorous incidents of the hour, stamp to their hearts' content. This will not annoy the lecturer nor the grown-up members of the course...
...interstate commerce arise from the laws which now control business. The Interstate Commerce Law of 1870 is a successful attempt to control interstate commerce by regulation: the Sherman Anti-Trust Law of 1890, on the other hand, is an attempt to control interstate commerce by preventing combinations in restraint of trade, and up to the present time it has not been successful.

To vary the program, three pianoforte solos, beautiful and well-known pieces of Chopin, were performed by Mr. Moeldner '13, a pupil of Madame Hopekirk. Although in the first piece the left hand portion was a bit heavy, the Nocturne was played with real poetic feeling, and throughout Mr. Moeldner...
...Prouty explained how great and far reaching an effect the freight rate had upon the development of natural resources, the increase or restraint of trade and industry, and even upon the lines along which modern civilization shall advance. This may be shown by a concrete example. The rate from Chicago to New York is less than from intermediate points to either terminus. The result is that producers are forced to do business at railroad centres. A decision of the Commission to change this condition would alone do much in the interest of humanity by withdrawing the impediment to rural industrial...
