...approaching exhibition of etchings at Sanders Theatre by the Art Club, and the lecture by Professor Norton, seem to us deserving of more than the bare statement of facts given last week. It is to be conducted in the same manner as one which Professor Norton gave, along with a lecture on etchings, at Parker Memorial Hall several years ago. The interest in the Art Club has greatly increased among its members, and we feel convinced that this exhibition will tend to arouse a similar interest among the other members of the University. The exhibition is not to be open...

SCARCELY a week passes without our hearing of the resignation of some one who has occupied a position of responsibility in a college society or club. Undoubtedly the men who resign have their private reasons for so doing, and into these reasons it is of course not our province to inquire. It often seems, however, as if they looked on one side of the question only. Before accepting a position of importance a man should weigh well everything that might be disagreeable to him; and after he has once accepted it is only just to the society that, in spite...
