...allowed to do so, therefore, I should like to suggest that, in addition to securing occasional speakers to address the society, the society itself should do active work. It should hold at least bi-weekly meetings for the discussion of temperance questions which must be argued before the people long and well are we can claim a victory.

In this connection we would suggest to the committee a consideration of the style of fence which is to surround the new athletic grounds at Yale. This consists of a thickly planted hedge of sufficient height closely flanked by a barbed wire fence. Such a fence would certainly answer all purposes, and would besides meet very well several of the objections urged against...
