...sudden action of the Committee on Athletics, about this time last year, was essentially wrong in method, however necessary it may have seemed in view of the manner in which foot ball was being played. Without any previous warning, some very important regulations were laid down at the last minute, in such an arrogant way that instinctively every student opposed them. Not that anyone objected to the changes proposed, all were aware that the game was unnecessarily brutal. But this sudden awakening of the Committee, just before the great game of the year, seemed uncalled for, if not absurd...

E. Renshaw...
...carry into successful operation a plan for the government of students by which matters of discipline are discussed and decided by a select body of undergraduates. This judicial tribunal is called by the not inappropriate name of Senate. Its members are chosen by the different classes in the same manner as are their other various officers. Each class is represented, although the number from each varies according to its seniority...
