...excluded by this rule may be divided into two classes: those who can not, and those who do not join the Union. As a matter of fact, those who really stay out are those who do not wish to go, those who do not want to borrow members' "non-transferable" tickets, and those who can not borrow tickets. We suggest a plan for helping those who can not pay ten dollars for membership, are unwilling to borrow tickets, and yet wish to hear a particular lecture.

Social intercourse during term between the sexes is strictly forbidden; and it is a matter of college loyalty to live up to the rule. Of non-academic activities there are but two--athletics and conversation. They are not a function but a recreation; nor are they limited to specialists whose reputation is professed. Young Oxonians, in general, lead a serene and undistracted, but rich and wholesome life. They cultivate athletics because each is an active devotee...
