...more hurdle is removed, from the straightaway that leads to commencement by the decision of those in charge of English 41 that seniors shall not be required to take the April hour examination regularly scheduled for the course. Slowly but surely Harvard instructors seem to be realizing that the establishment of the general examinations is more than a mere addition to former duties. Progress does not mean that we hitch our good old pair of trotters to the front bumper of an automobile and so combine the best features of both; and it is equally idle to hope...
...thought often expressed. Clarance Darrow in recent years has achieved considerable celebrity for his advocacy of the treatment of the individual criminal as a cure for the cause of crime. Despite the unfortunate angles of many of his cases and the adverse public opinion regarding them, it would seem that some such treatment is necessary to get at the root of the trouble. In seeking for the practical details to work out this idea the Institute offers excellent hope for some plan for improvement of present conditions...
...present time it seems that four men are in the lead for pitching berths. Howard Whitmore '29, only "H" mound-man on the squad, R. R. Ketchum '29, E. L. Molloy '29 and W. K.

Adjournment from day to day is clearly not such an occasion. Adjournment sine die would seem clearly to be a case where the bill could not be returned within ten days. A more difficult question--not directly presented in the Okanogan case--is the matter of adjournment for longer than ten days during the continuance of a session, as, e.g., over the Christmas holidays. The "pocket...
Even Senator Edmunds seems to have changed his mind, for on Dec. 24, 1884, while President pro tem. of the Senate, he wrote to President Arthur: "A bill has passed both Houses of Congress and was presented for my signature after both Houses had adjourned until 5th of January. This is more than ten days, and, if it were now presented to you, you could not return it with your objections... It would seem to me as if the bill could not become a law constitutionally...
