...hope no member of '88 will fail, either from indifference or diffidence, to do his part in every organized branch of college activity and college life that is open to him.

The favor with which the "new subjects" are received shows plainly how undergraduate feeling is disposed toward them. Men at college fully realize the nature of the times into which they...
