...doubted. We are inclined to think that it is not quite fair for the unorganized mass of students, and wish to suggest a remedy. At the very time when there are most men in the gymnasium taking their regular exercise the weights can not be approached, as a usual thing, because some crew or nine is at work there. Consequently, all the other men have to delay their exercise an unnecessary length of time to get a chance at the weights or else forego the use of them entirely. The trouble is largely caused by the baseball men. The crews...
...says to commence work in this way: "The first thing you must attend to is your stomach. If you commence violent exercise without taking some kind of an opening medicine, you will most certainly be sick from it. I should advise as a purgative either rhubarb or podophylm, to be followed two days later with about half a bottle of citrate of magnesia.

As this seems likely to be done we can only hope that it will not be done...
...begin by sweeping out the store. We give little enough time for preparation as it is, without college authority for the forcing process. It is of course alleged, as the plea for these elective studies, that they are intended to prevent forcing, to save the student from attempting many things he cannot do, that he may do well the one thing he chooses to do. But this is at once a surrender of the principle of general education, a confession that knowledges have already increased beyond our powers of classification. The elective system is the device, in fact, for eluding...
