...same position as before, only to sit passively by while the faculty act, they must bestir themselves. We should be happy to take notice of any feasible plan which anyone may wish to propose to the college through our columns and will endeavor to further any plaus which may suggest remedies for the present chaotic state into which the subject of faculty supervision seems to have fallen just at present...
