...safety to the contents of the lockers is concerned. And if the intention is to prevent dishonesty, this is true. Of course a reliance upon the honor of the students dictated the placing of the rack in its present position; but to avoid further trouble we would suggest that the keys hereafter be so placed that they will be under the eye of some one of the employees of the gymnasium. By this means some assurance will be offered that the lockers are places of comparative safety...
...extremely ambitious; but it would be wrong to say that many of them are not also very successful. The excellent rhythm and the charming sincerity are characteristics that are always attractive, partly because at the present time at least, they are rather uncommon. Some of these poems suggest real ability and poetic taste, Although in places the poetic sentiment seems to have been sacrificed to rhyme and metre and although many of the subjects can hardly be called new or said to be treated with any conspicuous originality, yet few will say that the author has made a mistake...

But we did expect the committee, taking all the time it wanted, ultimately to arrive at some conclusion, to suggest some remedy. What are the facts? Two resolutions have been passed that represent in their tenor student opinion, it is true, but only in a manner that any self-evident assertions would. We surely did not need a Conference Committee to tell us, after three months of discussion, that the present marking system...
