...argument for dress, more hereafter. That concerning the "speech" appears to our provincial judgment both a novel and unwarranted assumption. True, we are not a nation of jeunes premiers, but there have been musical voices in our land and history. The voices of Hancock, Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and Grant, proclaiming the sovereignty of simple manhood had a sweetness and musical cadence which still makes melody upon our People's lips. The tones of these men are the models after which our accents are framed, and their music, I take it, needs not the tawdry finery of affectation...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - In a recent issue of the "CRIMSON" there was an unfavorable comment on the name chosen for the novel debating society at Johns Hopkins. It was held to be unpatriotic that the meeting of students was named and modeled after the English "House of Commons" rather than our own "House of Representatives."

This fall the instructor who lectured on junior themes again emphasised the need of such an arrangement in a really good criticism. Almost every junior in writing his first theme this year followed this advice and wrote a synopsis of the work criticised...
...report was copied all over the country. In the papers of New York statements were made that several men had been severely injured. It is this very spirit which the "Graduate" admires, that is doing so much to lower journalism in this country to the rank of the dime novel. Sensationalism has been shown and any defense, especially in an aggressive way, is presumptuous and entirely out of place. In addition, the college press should not be made the means whereby correspondents who write in good faith can be flatly accused of jealously and personal animosity. It would seem that...
