...girls themselves upon the matter show how blased this contest will be. They have swept all of the erudition of the newspaper editor to one side with the glorious gesture that, "girls can't be annoyed with him."

If this practice continues, the old fable of the weaker sex will soon enough be regulated to a place among the other nursery rhymes at Detroit University...
...reader will often discover in particulars of fact or of interpretation occasion for doubt or dissent."

The difficulty arises in that the taste is questionable if not distinctly bad. This in turn results from a self-conscious disregard of any authoritative standard. The collegiate person cares little for the opinion or feelings of others. In the last analysis collegiatism is the result of a lack of maturity and intelligence, and it is because of this that it is a reflection upon any student body...
