The Thencanic continues to deal with its perennial issues. One student repeats the events of several weeks prior by playing with the faucet and leaning on his desk, while other keeps his hands in his pockets throughout his oration. Transcription included.

The Censors offer the following topics for debate: whether killing in self-defense deserves punishment, the state of the Model School versus the Normal School, and whether soda fountains should be closed on Sundays. Transcription included.

This set of four documents details the history of the Thencanic memorial window, which sat in the "Chapel" of the Normal/Model Schools campus. Through Philadelphia glassmaker Alfred Godwin, the Society raised money from among its members and ex-members (nearly all of whom have been identified) to install a window celebrating philosophy and the Thencanic. The window cost $75.00, approximately $2,800 as of 2024. Transcriptions included.
