...instead of two, it is suggested that recitations end at five instead of six. Themes would then come at two, and the first recitation would be at three. We should then have the same interval after dinner as we do at present, and few, we are convinced, think that the time allowed is too short. Themes and Forensics do not fall to the lot of individuals more than once a week, on the average, and the time until three would be amply sufficient for the customary smoke or after-dinner nap. The proposed plan would leave the hour from five...
This could be issued as complementary to the list of electives, or could supersede it. If, however, the expense would be an objection, the pamphlet could be put on sale at the bookstores, and we hardly think that the instructors would object to the very slight trouble of preparing such accounts.

Union claims to have adopted...

This plan, it is urged, does not allow the Freshman crew any opportunity of entering our college races. If intercollegiate Freshmen contests are to be permanent, which we think quite unlikely, our Freshman crew could be allowed, with much propriety and fairness, to enter the spring races on equal terms with the other crews, and if they prove the winners their names should adorn the Beacon Cup as a Freshman crew. The only difference, then, between our Fall...
