...more attractive. The outside advertisements are reduced to a small space on the back cover and the advertisements throughout are reduced in numbers; the insertion of some of them in the midst of the directory mars its appearance somewhat. The list of students is competed from the latest data at the office, and the names of club members are revised as carefully as possible from the lists of the secretaries...
...order to preserve as it were our very sanity (or, as Kant would say, the Unity of our self-consciousness), to regard all observed facts as conforming to laws. Yet these laws of Nature, which science studies, are the very creation of our own understanding acting upon the data of our senses. Such laws are not the laws of an unknowable real world at all. They hold only for the show-world of our experience. Our own understanding is therefore the source for us of all knowable rational truth...

Either argument is false and trivial because it is based on insufficient data. Why not rather view the subject from the point of view of several decades, as the CRIMSON does, instead of trying to find ground for alarm in the figures for five, or more correctly, three years? If there is "versatility of misapprehension" anywhere, it is not confined to the CRIMSON...
