...small type, enamel, red and bronze inks, a Tabular View could be printed, not awkwardly large, yet with room for several advertisements, and in all respects superior to the flimsy sheets offered at the Dean's office.

The Sophomores may repudiate our proffered condolence, and tell us what we call usurpation is voluntary abdication. In such case, we beg their pardon. We are sometimes influenced by the memory of our own Sophomore days, which...
