...which no thought of building one was entertained. The fact that no regular yard committee is now in existence afforded last night an opportunity to the students as a body to exercise some self-control in the celebration. We do not care at this hour to comment on the method of that restraint. It is sufficient, however, to say that the result was one which it will always be the policy of the CRIMSON to support...
Among the changes which the elective pamphlet for 1886-87 contains, there is one which must meet the heartiest approval of every student in college. We refer to the new method in conducting the elementary course in Political Economy. Excellent as the course has always been, it seems as if now it could not be surpassed as a means of giving a general and comprehensive view of great economical questions. For the first half-year Mills' Political Economy and Prof. Dunbar's lectures on banking, will be studied. For the second half-year, however, a choice of two divisions...
...Boylston prize speaking, which occurred last evening, offers an opportunity for some criticism upon the methods pursued in the preparation for this annual contest.

...method of meeting this evil, decision is certainly difficult. To us no plan seems better than that of trial by jury - the jury to be composed of members of the college. The plain is not without precedent, for already at Bowdoin it has been success fully tried. Also the Amherst Senate has shown itself capable of serving as a judicial body, though not specifically in matters of cribbing, yet in matters relating to general college offences. We believe that trial by jury would not only put a check on the practice itself of cribbing, but also eventually turn general opinion...
