Excerpt from The Eagle, 1900, Vol. 21: A Magazine Supported by Members of St. John's College; Containing Nos. CXX-CXXII In the third place, it is declared in the Preamble to the proposed measure, that in order to remedy the abuses and irregularities which are presumed to exist, it is necessary to appoint Commissioners with powers most extraordinary and unlimited.
