...hold active connection with a secret Greek college fraternity is within the general powers of the board and faculty, is not in violation of the constitution of Indiana, nor of any act of congress in relation to agricultural colleges, nor of any legislative enactment, and, unless unreasonable, is valid; courts have the power to review the action of the board and faculty in certain cases, but can only do so where the power conferred on them is abused; an unreasonable by-law is invalid; but, before a court can declare a by-law void for unreasonableness, such unreasonableness must...
Heretofore, the challenging party has never raised any valid objection to the course named by the party challenged. This year Harvard had solid grounds for refusing to row at New London, and having put herself on record by making the same objections when she was victorious, she considered that she had the right to decline to go to New London...

It is hard to see the advantages of a college legislature, in which imaginary bills, committees on imaginary business, and all the intricate measures of a legislature, are imitated...

This obviously should not be. Nor, on the other hand, should notices be allowed to remain on the boards after losing validity, as is still often done...
