...Yale Union as the central organization of the University. At the meetings of the union, parliamentary law is strictly observed and a careful record of each meeting is kept. This year a great deal of enthusiasm has been manifested by the members of the union and the sharpness and vigor of their debates show that Yale has plenty of good debating material. Compared with the meetings of the union, the debates of the Senior, Junior and Sophomore Wigwams and the Junior and Sophomore Wranglers are very informal.

...Village Paladin," by J. A. Graydon '01. After briefly picturing the town of Rosslea, on Fair Day, the writer describes the shop of Mickey Doonan, the village blacksmith, and then skilfully introduces upon the scene some of Mickey's "boon companions."

...inter-club debate. The question debated was: "Resolved, That the President of the United States should be elected for a term of six years, and should be ineligible for reelection." F. C. Sutro '99, R. C. Bolling 1900 and J. A. Richards 1900 acted as judges. Although lacking in vigor the speaking was a great improvement over that of the first trial. The men showed careful preparation and a desire to stick closely to the leading arguments...
