...addition to the objections already mentioned, the defenders of the present "private matter" system argue that the new method would be obviously unfair, because nearly every man labors under different attendant circumstances, while the marks are all judged by one standard. Men who have been away part of the term, others working their way through college, Seniors taking additional courses where marks will not make material difference, and candidates for teams and papers, as well as captains and managers, all have reasons for not ranking as high as men who have confined themselves to study. It is argued that...
Remedies may take one of several forms. Either treasurers should be called on to make periodical reports to the Student Council of their receipts and expenditures and to publish their accounts in the CRIMSON, or each treasurer should, at the close of his term of office, send to all members of his class who have paid aught into the treasury a statement of income and outgo. Whether this be justifiable on one ground or another is quite immaterial; the fact that such loose methods, such secrecy, as now prevail, exist and continue merely by the acquiescence of the classes...

Of non-academic activities there are but two--athletics and conversation. They are not a function but a recreation; nor are they limited to specialists whose reputation is professed. Young...
...important changes in the constitution have been adopted by the Association. The first of these provides that the officers' term of service shall end at the April recess instead of immediately upon election, at mid-years, since it is believed that the new officers can thereby learn their duties with the aid of the outgoing Cabinet and then have the best part of the college year for their service. The other amendment provides that the officers shall be elected by Australian ballot instead of at a meeting of the Association. As a result 58 votes were cast this year...
