...committee is unpopular with a great many of the students cannot be denied, but the reason for this unpopularity is not, perhaps, so well understood. The Conference Committee is, as constituted at present, a purely advisory body, and has absolutely no executive or legislative power. This fact is often lost sight of, and expecting administrative action the students look upon the advice given by the committee as but a poor substitute. "Why doesn't the Conference Committee do something?" is a question we often hear. The true answer, however, "They have not the power," is but seldom given...
There was some criticism of the work of the Union last year which, without doubt, may serve as a guide to avoid such criticism in the future, if it is just, and to render it palpalbly unjust if it is so. There is often, it is true, too much school-boy oratory displayed when those who are ambitious for forensic honors first address the Union. But this is inevitable, and should be judged leniently.

All grounds for these regrets are now removed...
...among any body of broad minded men, and said that its presence was not lacking amongst us now. "These are the signs which shall mark the coming of the spirit of God, and which to-day shows the working of the divine power within us. Although these visions have often led to mistakes and excesses, yet the effect has always been, as a whole, good. They have remained as that which was permanent in the old Jewish system of theology and in the Christian church. In fact, Christ's life is but a monstrous, aspiring dream, which for centuries...
...CRIMSON will prevent its repetition for a long time to come. But, they ask, will it make us unpopular to refuse? and again we reply, no. Men who voluntarily give punches on Bloody Monday night throw themselves open to the accusatien of "swiping" to the sophomores and often become unpopular in consequence; but a simple refusal to comply is not regarded in the same light. We hope there is no one in the freshman class so cowardly as not to stand by his principles; or mean enough to think to gain favor in the eyes of the upperclassmen by ostentatiously...
