...high standard of the paper. There is no contribution that is not well written, no contribution that makes one feel that the editors were short of material and had to fill up somehow.

...decide whether beer is or is not harmful at class smokers. The vote was a tie. When the subject of the debate was widely advertised, when all interested were given a chance to be present, and when the discussion was amply long enough to allow full presentation of sane arguments, there is no reason to submit the question to the Student Council or to any other authority.
