...himself recently in a way that has given him much honorable, but rather unpleasant, fame about the college. It seems that, while escorting a young lady to the theatre one night last week, a drunken ruffian attacked him on Boylston street, at the same time insulting the lady. The student, though much the smaller man, knocked the fellow down, as it happened, into a stairway which led from the street into the celler of a store. The man struck his head against a stone step, was knocked senseless, and, with the aid of a policeman, was sent to the hospital...
...place, follows out the suggestion made by us last week, that the upper classes should have the greatest number of delegates. This is certainly of great importance, and we hope it will not be overlooked in the meeting. It is the method of representation in the Amherst Senate, the student advisory and governing body, which has, up to this time, attracted most attention in the country on account of its successful working.

It is this principle on which Memorial Hall is governed, and the present prosperity of this association strongly recommends its extension in other directions. Had the faculty assumed the power in regard to Memorial that they do in regard to athletics, the former steward would still be in office, and the price of board would be in the neighborhood of $4.50. The directors fortunately had the absolute power of dismissal by a two-thirds vote. By this power...
