The sum of the matter is this, that there are very few newly introduced amusements that last in any community, whether it be a college or a city; and the college is justly liable to change its tastes more frequently than the city, because of the fact that one quarter of its members change every year. Men are surprised because there were only twenty-eight entries this year to the Athletic Sports compared with sixty-three, which was the number last fall...

Additional point is given to the complaint by the fact that the College recently voted to pay a considerable sum for the purpose at once, and that nevertheless money does not pour into the treasury with increased rapidity. The students of Dartmouth evidently imagine that the word of the ordinary college student is as good as gold. It may be - if you wait long enough. But what with limited allowances...
