There is no good reason why a man should not be permitted to go into court with his trouble and have it settled by the common intelligence of a judge unhampered by a variety of statutory rules.

At this meeting the society changed its constitution so that instead of 40 members elected from each class, 14 in 11 be elected. The amendment reads: "A reduction in the number of members to be taken in from each class is made from 10 to 14. Seven men to be elected at the end of the Sophomore year and seven during the Junior...
