Professor Chaplin spoke at the college conference meeting last evening on college discipline. In commencing he gave a short sketch of the history of discipline at Harvard, and showed the sharp contrast between the methods of the past and the present. At the start Harvard made rules generously. The rules were written in Latin, and each student had to make his own copy in a fair hand. Some of the rules of 1743 were read.

We remind members that there may be no other meeting this year, and that it is their duty to see that business is not rushed through too quickly. We believe that nothing more than ignorance...
...which is met by the class fund. Pecuniary considerations, therefore, need deter no senior from giving the matter his immediate attention. Particularly is it desirable that all groups of class organizations should be taken at once, since it is about these that the greatest inconvenience has arisen in the past. A little attention given to the matter now will lighten the burden on all shoulders...
