...wish to call to mind once more that the bonuses from the Government are on the way to most of the men in College, and that the practice of thrift is never to be regretted. If the Freshmen will arouse from their state of inertia and pay up the pledges made at their mass meeting last Monday, the end of the drive will be in sight. We have no doubt that the payment of this obligation will be performed, and in such circumstances the University will be in a position to oversubscribe the quota. Let every one audit...

Even its enforcement has already been tried and disapproved of by the people generally, such a repeal would create a dangerous rift in the popular respect for organic law. The Constitution of the United States, our national rock of strength, would sink in popular esteem to the comparatively fallible level of certain state constitutions and ordinary statutory laws. Besides this it would cost endless time and discussion on the part of Congress, State Legislatures, and responsible individuals, at a time when all energies should...
