Whether this was done wisely or not, it is not my purpose to discuss, but now that the door is open for reforms, are there not other changes that can well be made, and other alterations incidental to the management of the affairs of the graduating classes, which could be made advantageously...

...powers, duties, and responsibility of the Corporation, the Directors, and the Steward, and in which provision shall be made for stated meetings of the Association, at which the Directors, the Auditor, and, if necessary, the Steward shall present reports, and which shall give an opportunity for a fair, open discussion of the condition of the Association.
