...every period of examination most students become filled with a spirit of exultation-shall we call it-which must be taken as the natural result of a release from the severe strain just passed through with.

The reasons for this gratifying change of opinion are, in part, the almost total disappearance of those organizations that in the early days of college fraternities mistook the true purposes of those societies to be such...
