...Banjo Club also made a great hit, and though it be '91, can show certain other clubs in college the result of careful work. Their selections are also very appropriate. There was an innovation in the way of a concert solo by Mr. Wendell, who played Sullivan's "Lost Chord." It is a long time since a good wind instrument has been heard in college, making a pleasing feature of a programme...
...Heseltine rejoined that it was a pure assumption to say that wages would fall if tariff were taken off. A tariff is a tax on consumers-laborers and all.

To men who are given to such practices as these, it may be entirely futile to point out to their callous sense of honor that they not only show the greatest disrespect to their instructors, not only waste their time and utterly loose sight of the prime object of a man's entering college, but also become exceedingly obnoxious to a large majority of the class. The only way to crush out this disgraceful disposition on the part...
