...great deal is being said by the papers regarding the succession to the Presidency of Yale. The whole matter may be stated in a small sized nutshell. As long as Yale is governed in the religious spirit of its foundation, the progressive element of the Alumni will have no voice in the management. It is for the Corporation to decide this point; the Alumni can do nothing until such action is taken as will give them a voice in the deliberations of the Board. - Acta Columbiana...

...beginning of our study we find an element that must make the work of the western editor totally different from that of his eastern brother. Without a consideration of this element it would be impossible for us in any way to account for the striking differences between the college journals of east and west. Reference is had to co-education. While the fair sex is always an important addition to the different walks of life, it is especially important when considered in connection with college journalism. Women at college mean a much wider field for the work of the college...
