...that it is owing to their liberal hospitality and the strength of their punch. They believe that we do not appreciate the deceptive nature of cold liquor on a hot day, and advise that the custom of entertaining the graduating class be given up. They wish it distinctly understood that the Corporation does not pretend nor desire to act as a god-mother to our morals, but does claim the right to look after the property of the College and the propriety of the day, and they think their ends can be better accomplished by the classes using their influence...

We wish it to be distinctly understood, however, that it is not intended to find fault with the instructor in that elective, as a teacher. In that capacity he is regarded by the students as competent and faithful, and his duties are performed in the most conscientious manner. But this does not prevent our condemnation of his system of marking, which we regard as absolutely wrong. Solid substantial instruction is the main object in taking any elective...
