...hoped that the Conference Committee will soon be able to effect some arrangement whereby the present system of examination will be modified. Under the present regime, there seems to be and possibly there can be, no uniformity of method in preparing examination papers. Some instructors give short papers with few questions and expect to have each question pretty thoroughly discussed. Other instructors give long papers with numerous questions. The answers to such questions must necessarily be brief; owing to their brevity they are liable to be faulty, even with the most careful student, and it is not likely that they...
This interest in English composition has had another effect upon the students. The man who works hard over his English, and is supposed to have literary ability, is not deemed a grind, in just the same way that a great classical or mathematical scholar is. He who writes for the college papers gets a popularity, small to be sure, but in kind, somewhat like that of the athlete. It is, in a certain degree, a credit to the class. Accordingly, many who cannot distinguish themselves in athletics, are beginning to look upon a place on an editorial board...
...many reasons, an extension of the plan of the Conference Committee would be desirable. As we said yesterday, the discussions of the present body have an immediate effect only upon its members.

The frank examination of such a matter as the prayer question by the students and the governing bodies, in common discussion, would be advantageous to both sides. Those in power would see more fully the undergraduate opinion. While we, who do not always refuse to be guided...
...five ounces of strong wine, as sherry; to ten ounces of weak wine, as claret; to one pint of beer. If these quantities are increased one half, 1 1-2 ounces of absolute alcohol will be taken, and the limit of moderation for strong men is reached. The effect on a strong man of taking in 24 hours between one or two ounces of alcohol, is at once injurious, as is proven by evident narcosis, lessening of the appetite, increased rapidity of the action of the heart, dilation of the smaller blood vessels, and the appearance of alcohol...
...learn from the Amherst Student that the fellows at Amherst are grumbling considerably about the ill success of their nine last year. As yet the grumbling seems to have no practical effect. But the editors of the Student fear that if the present state of things continues, the nine will be poorly supported. Men will take no interest in the gymnasium or out-of-door practice of their team, nor will they give it a generous support. A nine with such half-hearted backing will be very likely to fail...
