...spring, and take their time up to the mid-year's to correct them. The result is that the roll-calls abound with men who never come near the courses, and the instructors are bored with a floating population of volatile individuals who have little idea what they want. The action of the faculty in this matter will meet the approval of all well-regulated students...
...Italians, but in a different way. Now, in sober earnest, what are we going to do about it? There must exist some responsible authority which shall have control over all such nuisances. It is too late to do anything this spring about the matter. The faculty want us to take this matter into our own hands, and we hope that next fall, the various classes will each appoint two or three members who shall act as an executive committee from the four classes and shall have charge of minimizing, as much as possible, the number of existing abuses.

For those who intend to enter the field of journalism, or of letters generally, who want thorough training in writing, English 12 under Mr. Wendell, and English 5 under Prof. Hill, are offered. In both courses daily theme work is done. In addition to these, the college offers two most excellent courses for training in speaking; one, English 9, under Mr. Jones, for the technicalities...
