...number of men have been disappointed at discovering that the half course in elocution which has been put into the curriculum for next year, is only open to those who have had practice in elocution before. This rule bars many men from taking the course, and is especially hard on the seniors, some of whom want to take the course as a preparation for their future life.

Every volume of the lot relates more or less directly to some one of the courses in the curriculum. And in this way, the student's attention is more firmly drawn...
...which resolutions were unanimously adopted protesting against the proposed plans, and a committee composed of undergraduates from the different classes were appointed to obtain the views of the alumni upon the subject. Over six thousand letters have been sent out and the replies are now pouring in. As a rule they are strongly in favor of retaining the "fence" at any cost.
