...Club I think precisely the reverse has been the case. The Glee Club this year has been much below the standard of former years. It is ridiculous to suppose that a university as large as is Harvard cannot produce a better club. The club is entirely too small to render our popular choruses with anything like the proper effect. As far as the college owing anything to the club is concerned, we think it the right of the college to expect the open-air concerts from the club. By giving such concerts, the club earns the right to expect...
...Butler has addressed the legislature on the subject of the Massachusetts Agricultural College: "From the economy which can well be practised by the student at the Agricultural College, because of the cheapness of living, the absence of those inducements to extraordinary expenses by the pupil, which render a college course so burdensome to men of moderate means, the sons of such men will be enabled, either by their own exertions or the support of their parents, to obtain at a cost within their reach a good practical education, as good, in my judgment, as anywhere else, to fit them...

The thanks of all who occupy rooms in the college buildings are due to the gentlemen who have the matter in charge for the promptness with which they have acceded to the general demand for immediate action in the matter...
...shown his manhood by refusing to submit, preferring to sever his connection with the college. Confident in his own mind that he has committed no wrong, he will not sacrifice his self-respect by attempting to carry out the terms of a sentence which, indeed, his circumstances render almost impossible. I think it is but an act of simple justice to put on record the opinion of every man with whom I have spoken on the subject - that Mr. S. has suffered without just cause, and that the faculty have made a mistake...
