...take up the objections to this paln in order. It will be urged that alumni would be rusty in the old, and ignorant of the new rules. But the men chosen would be those who take an interest in such matters, and who would make it their business to keep posted. The changes in rules from year to year, are not so numerous but that a recent graduate could readily pick them...
...thing, and one thing only, can be done to keep co-operation alive and to give us the benefits of the society for the rest of this year, and that is a voluntary assessment footing up to about $600. With that sum, and the sale of the greater part of the stock, it will be possible to run the society through the year on a smaller scale, -say coal and wood, book orders, stationery, tennis goods, and the list of affiliated tradesmen, and employing two clerks, and the superintendent only one day in the week.

What would an English matron say at the mention of dangerous sophomores and freshly freshmen as travelling...
...competition for this bequest. Inasmuch as the original donation with its accretions will amount to $1,000,000 on the day for awarding the prize, it will be quite worth one's while to win it. The fact that the essay is to be written in Russian will not keep anybody from competing, for there will be plenty of time to learn that language before 1925, the year when the prize will be awarded. There is no reason whatever why some member of English 5 or 12 should not be the happy owner of the million dollars...
