The students have for years PROTESTED against certain abuses in the janitor system. But our Parliament, with its advanced liberals and its ultra-conservatisms busy fighting one another, and all the rest absent; and our Overseers, "ninety-five in the shade," calm and tranquil,-how can we expect such as these to regard the wishes of the students, unless those wishes are expressed...
