...Society. This sub-section will then have a curator, chairman, and secretary of its own. Mr. Garrison was elected chairman by a unanimous vote, but it was resolved to defer the election of other officers till the next meeting. It was decided that members should be free to keep what specimens they desired for their private collections, but the society will also form a collection which will be added to that of the N. H. Society. The meeting was successful in every way, starting with sixteen, possibly eighteen, members. Of these...
...cannot be allowed to continue. It must be seen that success in a college publication is entirely dependent upon the interest manifested in it by the college. However talented the board of editors may be, however wide and comprehensive the scope of the publication, it is simply impossible to keep any paper alive without the interested and enthusiastic support of the students.

The Directors are satisfied with Mr. Sullivan, who is now giving much better board than was given two years ago, at a cost of from $4.50 to $5.00, and their intention is to keep the price of board at $4.00 for the year if possible, and keep it up to its present standard...
