...happy imaginations of the verdant freshmen. But the president and faculty, with prudent foresight, anticipated the results of an evening meeting and told the committee appointed by the freshmen to take charge of the matter, that the meeting must be held in the afternoon. This is, of course, a sore disappointment to the entire sophomore class and many of the upperclassmen, but doubtless it is better that in the future, freshman class meetings be held in comparative quiet, without that boisterous din with which '89 was initiated into the duties of college life...

And simply because we wrote with both sincerity and good will, we have not the least reason for regretting what we wrote.
