...recent kind do not deserve a like punishment at the hands of the authorities. Not that I think such punishment will result in the moral reform of the offender. But is it right that the students in large courses should have to suffer from the unscrupulousness of a few worthless fellows, who are allowed to go about with impunity...

...blow in my face. Brackets have been employed and hours changed in the most reckless fashion. History 9 and English 6 given up, the hour of History 11 changed! I shall now be forced to elect Music 13 and other courses I know in advance to be worthless. True, I am only an individual, and it does not matter much to the college or the world if my education is spoiled or not. So too, the class of '87 is only one of the many that graduate. But let us, '87 men and others, hope that the changes which...

Again, supposing the man obtainable, the existence of a chief responsible in a lump for all expenditure would remove all feeling of individual responsibility from the treasurers of the different organizations, and extravagance would be the rule. Besides, while now many men support different teams liberally because...

...recommended to the faculty as a possible improvement over our present system? The difficulty is that the student members as a whole do not realize what is expected of them. Why does the committee exist unless for action, as well as discussion? Discussion without resulting action is practically worthless. To this fact that they do not appreciate their powers is due the result that three months of conference have produced two resolutions that, as regards weight of thought, could just as well have been passed at the first as at the last meeting. By results students at large must judge...
