...contrary the parade this evening is to be carefully arranged and conducted. Modern election days are no longer marvels of fraud and diplomatic violence; but modern campaigns are almost as disgusting in their methods as the fraud of the old time elections.

The University has perhaps been unsuccessful in other fields besides debating, but I venture to say that the editorial writer who found amusement in practising his original brand of sarcasm on debating, would not dare to do the same in regard to athletics. It might be good training for him to come out and try for the debating team next year. He would at least learn the wisdom of thinking before writing. He might come out of the debating trials a sadder...
