He regards the weak point in the organization to be the liberty of withdrawing from the Hall on a full week's notice, and he proposes as a check that any member who should withdraw at any time except the end of one of the three periods for which term bills are made out should be charged for the remaining time one third of the cost for board. Now what to the President seems weakness must seem to the students strength; and in the liberty to withdraw is the only...
