...fixed principle of common law that every man is entitled to a trial by his peers. Why should not students be given a like right? Amherst has taken a long step in the right direction, and although such a plan might not be practicable in a college so large as ours, there seems to be no good reason why all smaller colleges should not follow her example. Even here some modification of this might prove very successful...
...proper for the faculty to make election day a recess, that the men who are obliged to make long journeys in order to cast their votes may do so without being obliged to miss a part of their college duties? The faculty at Yale have taken this step, and have decided to release the students from the requirements of college for that day.

This change is a step in the right direction. Under the new rules for electives, an undergraduate is allowed to substitute courses amounting to any equivalent number of losses for condition in freshman mathematics. It is no more than fair, inasmuch as he may select subjects congenial to his taste, to require...
