...tree and the rain did nourish it." In the course of his remarks Dr. Books said that in college life men are too apt to be obsequious to the rich and popular fellow and to overlook or slight the brave, earnest man who happens to be poor or unpopular. A man's life can be developed fully only by considering his supernatural part, by maintaming toward rich and poor a sincere, christion demeanor. Then only, with careful regard to its nourish men, can the tree of man's life, planted by Divine love, spread forth its branches and leaves trustfully...
Comparisons are frequently made between the present time and the time just preceding the coup d'etat of 1851. Then, as now, there was an Assembly, which was highly unpopular.

...Monday to allow the threats to be carried into execution, and if they are carried into execution a simple statement of the names of the aggressors in the columns of the CRIMSON will prevent its repetition for a long time to come. But, they ask, will it make us unpopular to refuse? and again we reply, no. Men who voluntarily give punches on Bloody Monday night throw themselves open to the accusatien of "swiping" to the sophomores and often become unpopular in consequence; but a simple refusal to comply is not regarded in the same light.
