...satisfactory conjecture can be made as to the answer which the authorities may make to our reasonable requests, yet we feel that there is some ground to hope for favorable action on their part. Whether the petition be granted or not, we cannot see how it can possibly fail to have a marked effect. Drawn up by a body of undergraduates composed of "representative men" in the college world; signed by an overwhelming majority of our students; supported by a petition from the leading literary society of the college, and by another from those graduates now studying...

Not one of us, therefore, who, if he be true and pure and natural, may not, though his life never should be written, be interesting and stimulating to his fellow men in some small circle as they touch his life." Who can fail to feel the truth of those few simple words and the encouragement they give us all, and especially the young, who are just beginning the battle of life to be "true" and "pure," to be themselves manly men, and so help their class-fellows and comrades to be the same...
