2. General review of “Questions and Answers on the Required Readings.”
[For this review a large society may be divided into two divisions,
exactly as for an old fashioned spelling school, and the questions given
out to the sides as words are given to spell. “Missing” puts one out,
and the person who stands up until the questions are exhausted wins the
match. This often proves both a profitable and amusing exercise.]

Music.
4. Debate.—Resolved that the use of alcohol as a medicine is not
justifiable.
THE C. L. S. C. CLASSES.
CLASS OF 1885.
BY C. M. NICHOLS.
“_Press on, reaching after those things which are before._”
* * * * *
“THE OUTLOOK.”—The Class of ’84 printed a handsome and ably conducted
quarterly sheet, called _The Outlook_, but the class of ’85 decided,
after full consideration, to accept the offer of THE CHAUTAUQUAN, of the
use of a page or more each month in the official organ of the C. L. S.
C. It was believed that through this department of THE CHAUTAUQUAN all
the members of the Class could be promptly reached; that all the purposes
of the Class could be promoted efficiently in the department, and that,
through it, the members of the entire fraternity—the alumni as well as
the members of ’86, ’87 and ’88, could be advised each month of what the
Invincibles were about. Accordingly, with this number we begin a class
page for the ’85s.
