Page 454 - I am a firm believer in the great benefit that comes from our system of college societies. I think a great benefit is to be found in the association between the members of the different classes. I know many and many a case where the influence of the upper classes over freshmen and sophomores has saved young fellows from going wrong; has pulled them up and done for them what no president or professor could have done. I should be glad to see every student coming to this college under the guidance of...
Page 319 - It will be observed that no attempt is being made by the respondents to deny appellant any instruction afforded by class work, or by the required curriculum of the school. He is only denied certain other privileges, such as participation in athletic, literary, military, musical, or class organizations. In other words, the respondents made it optional with appellant to determine whether, against the known wishes of the school authorities, he would continue his membership in said secret society, and...
