...sundry Memorial and yard tickets, to be sold to any one who cared to buy them. The committee, rather than allow this, saw fit to purchase them at a price far above their value; and they would now beg every member of the class who is contemplating any like action, to consider whether he ought to place the interests of his own pocket before the interests of his class. If a senior has any extra tickets which he cannot use, let him sell them to members of the class at the fair price adopted by the committee...
...make it complete and correct in every respect. The costumes have been carefully studied from the best classical authorities and from engravings and statues. They are not exactly such as would have been worn by the Roman actors, but rather those in vogue in Athens at the time the action is supposed to have taken place - that is, 300 B. C.

Why then do they not use those means to obtain those rights, instead of seeking a doubtful vindication by the hazardous and expensive method of starting a new paper...
...matter of great regret to the entire college that the freshmen, by losing their game Saturday, have forfeited the right of taking part in the tree exercises on class day. However, although the action of the senior class may at first sight seem severe, it is now too late to think of rescinding their former vote. To give any such action of a class any weight, it must be thoroughly understood that their vote is decisive and final. To reconsider the matter now, would establish a bad precedent and would render any vote of a future class worthless. There...
