...some, this theatrical example may seem untrue to life, while others, among them those who live beyond the Mississippi, may contend at least that such a thing would not happen in the "open-hearted West". These objectors should hear the sad tale of Chaplain J. R. Calder of the Colorado House of Representatives, who was officially reprimanded for reporting to his Creator that: "Our courts are corrupt; God has been expelled from out churches;--our boys and girls are going to the dogs; our laboring men are going to work with empty dinner pails, while our farmers starve...
This is pessimism, in truth, for a student at a co-educational institution. Surely his appeal ought to be answered. The prospect of such a course appears profitable.

Just because of this fact, and the fear of unjust suspicion, the University is embarrassed in giving him the aid which he was earned, and which he would quickly receive if he were not so unfortunate as to be a good football player or "crack" track...
...What!" will be exclaimed, "this is not the joke of columnists? Why, you have double-crossed us--the sun has indeed run amuck! Let us have a new election." But what will happen after that, no one, not even the man who sees good in everything, would dare conjecture...
