...members at our request. It is our purpose to publish from time to time authoritative accounts of the rise, the mode of operation, and the success of the attempts at co-operative government which have been tried at several colleges, and to compare the various systems with the plan of a conference committee which is shortly to come up before our faculty. The Amherst Senate, inasmuch as it is the oldest and best known of student governing bodies, first deserves our attention. Much has been written about it, much indeed which is untrue or misleading, and we hope therefore that...
...consideration of the many variations of which the Athletic Committee has made on its own authority the meaning of the word "professional" capable, it would not, perhaps, be a bad plan for our representatives at the next conference to ask the Faculty if this declaration of the amateur athletes agrees with their ideas of what constitutes a "professional."

The temptation to turn the occasion into a tumultuous demonstration of boyish deviltry is too great to be resisted, and this demonstration, though harmless enough in itself, it may be, is at once seized upon...
This evening the college will have an opportunity of enjoying the first of a series of readings by Mr. Jones. Although at present his duties as president of the Shakspere Club, draw heavily upon his time, he has adhered to the original plan of giving these readings during the present month. We take the present occasion to thank Mr. Jones in behalf of the college for his untiring efforts in providing the high order of entertainments offered by the Shakspere Club...
