...themselves on record as favorable to the plea made in the recent petition presented by the students. This is another step in the right direction, if the wishes of the majority of students are to be consulted. The overseers and corporation are the persons who have the power to say whether such things as voluntary prayers shall or shall not be; but a favorable vote on the part of the faculty cannot help having an influence on them.

...CRIMSON'S treasury ! Tutors' notices pour in day after day, until it would seem that there was not a course in college that was not represented. What does it all signify? Does it really pay the tutors to advertise? Were I interested in the CRIMSON, I should certainly say that it paid-paid the CRIMSON. Still, I think, too, that it pays the advertisers as well, or at least most of them...
