In the darkest n I A'ej!eclz'om'. period of the past it presented the only ray of hope to the undergraduates amid the despotism of an irresponsible Faculty. To-day it sup- plements with its keen satire and bold invective, the weak and inefficient eHorts of the College Senate against a Facility which has laid aside the straightforward policy of an Agamemnon only to assume the crafty wilcs of a Ulysses.
