...think that taking an informal vote for President is a departure from the sphere of the student to that of the politician, and others who regard it as only time thrown away. Both opinions seem erroneous, and arise from the same cause, namely, failure to look at the case in the proper light. It should not be forgotten that a representative government is such only so long as the whole people are represented, the intelligent and good as well as the ignorant and bad, and that, as a small force is not unfrequently big in result, the indication...
...imposed any such conditions upon his gift; and that there are eleven scholarships, though apparently available, not assigned this year. This being true, we cannot escape the conclusion that the authorities, while thinking that they were carrying out the provisions of the donors, have not done so in every case. For, notwithstanding the modest statement in the Catalogue that none but the really indigent are expected to apply, it is a well-known fact that there are a number of holders of scholarships who could live comfortably without them, while others, who have to stint themselves in regard to food...
...reason to complain of the shameful condition of the walks so far - and who has not? - are urged to subscribe at once, and in order to save the trouble and delay of collecting subscriptions, to pay when they put down their names.

...expect perfection in the management of the Gymnasium at first is contrary to experience, since that can be attained only by pointing out from time to time the conflicts between the rules and the students' wants.

As the great majority of those who use the Gymnasium exercise either in the afternoon or evening, they are prevented from keeping a regular hour. Moreover, students devote to exercise the time that they can most conveniently spare from their work, and as there are no recitations in the afternoon...
...intend to advise "that the College Fund be discontinued," and I think that this meaning can hardly be drawn from my language. I have no objection to a College Fund, provided that every one is left perfectly free to subscribe or not, as he sees fit. In the case of many other subscriptions, - for instance, those to the Class Fund and to the University Crew, - a man cannot very well refuse to subscribe, unless he is absolutely unable to do so. About these subscriptions, then, as well as some others, there is, and very properly, more or less obligation...
