...will be remembered that it was only after some hesitation that the Faculty decided to give voluntary attendance upon recitations another year's trial with the present Senior class. It was hoped that the class would appreciate the fact that the system is as yet an experiment, and would do nothing to embarrass its final adoption. These anticipations, we are informed by the Dean, have not been realized. As far as can be judged by the returns up to the present time, the system has this year been used with much more license than it was last year...

Out of last year's Freshman class over one hundred and fifty joined the association, and the money got by their initiation fees was sufficient to pay all debts, and leave a surplus of about $17 in the treasury. Surely the present Freshman class, which is nearly as large as '79, when it entered, ought to furnish members enough to keep up the association. There is nothing of the kind in College from which so much pleasure can be derived for so small a sum ($2.25, including shingle), and if each class does...
