...College should be abolished." The principal disputants were: Affirmative, Hibbard, '84, Roundy, '85 ; negative, Barnes, '84, E. B. Young, '85. Previous to the debate a secret ballot was held on the merits of the question, which resulted in a vote of, affirmative 24, negative, 32. The debate was then thrown open to the house and the following members spoke from the floor: Affirmative, Messrs. Bowen, '85, Merriam, '86, Gray, '87, Fraser, '86, W. B. Schofield, '87, Storrow, '87, Litchfield, '85; negative, Messrs. Halbert, '85, Peterson, '85, and Mr. Hart, instructor. The debate was closed for the negative by Mr. Barnes...
...former issue. Playing on a musical instrument out of hours, or other than very sparingly in hours, is, when examinations are at hand, a most annoying disturbance to those at work. Unfortunately there is no law by which it is prohibited then, and the college is consequently thrown entirely on the mercy of those possessing such instruments.

The freshmen were getting the best of it, when one of their number, E. Von. Schaick, got badly squeezed in the crowd, was thrown down, and the mass of struggling boys surged over him. When extricated, it was found that he was injured, and a physician who was in the School of Mines building attended him. One of his ribs was pronounced broken, and he was taken home unconscious.

Again the question of a training table for the nine arises, a point about which there has been much discussion. Last year we argued in favor of a training table, as there were a great many new men on the nine and we thought that by being constantly thrown together they would become better acquainted. This year the nine will probably be composed of nearly the same men, and our argument will not hold good. We think that with good conscientious outside training the nine will succeed fully as well as though they were at a training table...
