...room for more to be done in just this line, both for men in the graduate and undergraduate departments. This was Mr. Bolles's great interest and a fund used for this purpose would be more appropriate than a scholarship. We sincerely hope that the students will talk and think about this thing and give as generously and as generally as they can to the fund...
...first speaker for Yale. He said that history is replete with illustrations of the value of independent action in politics; but unfortunately nowadays men are losing their independence, and society its interest in their individuality. The tendency of the time is heedlessness to man as man: it loves to think of him as part of a party, and so he loses himself in a party politics. He could not lose himself in a worse place.

The whole question seems to us one of time and we believe that time...
...presenting the facts, we are nearly powerless without the assistance of the officers and professors. We hope that means will now be furnished whereby they, without inconvenience to themselves, can give the requisite material. The system, we think, will also save them from many intrusions on their time. Hearty cooperation on their part is earnestly desired. A similar system has already been tried on a limited scale; we look for proportionately better results now that it is tried on a larger scale...
