...once more trespass on your columns with a subject which, if old, is not yet exhausted; indeed the carelessness with which the question of the possibility of establishing the said club has been allowed to drop, and the rapidity with which curiosity as regards it has evaporated would seem to prove the little interest in it, though there is, I think, deep interest below the surface of all the stumbling-blocks that impede its supporters. The most serious is, as I pointed out in a previous letter, the absence of any special reason strong enough to supply motive power...

Indeed, the cries of "Record, is a cent," and "Buy the only reliable paper," which are levelled by the rival venders...
...that our students have done so little, while our professors have done so much, for the school. The example of the students of the University of Pennsylvania should rouse us to do something. A Greek play, perhaps, is not to be thought of. Our genius at present does not seem to be of the Hellenic or histrionic kind Among us, as elsewhere, music is the dominant art. It has been suggested that the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality give a concert in aid of the school." Now that this suggestion has been practically taken up and acted upon, the students...
