...publication, at Yale, of the Iconoclast, a paper - of which we do not expect to see a second number - entirely devoted to a bitter condemnation of the "Skull and Bones" society. That Yale has been crippled in more than one way by the evils of her society system is acknowledged by many of her own students, but we doubt if the Iconoclast will work a reform.

...election of editors for the Cornell Era has taken place at Cornell. They are chosen by a class vote at the end of the Sophomore year. The opinion has been here expressed that the papers of our own University would be likely to obtain better editors by a similar system than by the one now in practice. In reply, we would state that, as it seems to us, a class election would be open to serious objections. A man's ability as a writer cannot be correctly judged from a few articles, which are all that the class have...
