...Amherst faculty has decided to put into practice during the coming year the new system of chapel and church monitorships, which was outlined last year when objection was made by the '95 honor men to serving as monitors. The appointments will not be made on the basis of high scholarship, and hereafter the four monitors will not necessarily be the four best scholars in the senior class.

In spite of the long time which has passed since these forms were distributed by the present Secretary, but few of them have yet been returned to him. This...
...success of Japan is certain to affect our relations in the Pacific vitally. Our chief competitors at sea for a century have been the little islands across the Atlantic and here we have similar competition growing up in three small islands across the Pacific. For the honor of this country, it is to be hoped that we may acquire dominion over the Hawaiian Islands as an offset to the Japanese hold on Corea...
