...regard to the many communications which we have received on the subject of lighting the library, we would say that it has annually been our custom to add our voice to the general hue and cry in this matter. It has always seemed to us the one great fault in the otherwise excellent management of the college library that a place which was avowedly built for the use of the students should be closed to them at the hour when the majority of men are in the mood for work.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- In your editorial yesterday you spoke of the sign-boards which are such ancient landmarks on Jarvis Field. I should like, if you will permit me, to emphasize your words, and, indeed, to add to them a little. Anyone who has been much on Jarvis during the foot-ball practice knows what an unmitigated nuisance the "American youth"- or in other words-Cambridge muckers, make of themselves, by continually rushing in and out among the spectators, yelling and hooting and making themselves generally obnoxious to everybody.

...informal discussions in committee of the whole of our legislatures. When a man wanders off from the subject or makes an inaccurate statement, any other member should feel free to interrupt him (with his permission, of course) and bring him to the point. A few wellput interruptions always add interest to a debate, and serve to make the speakers more at their ease...
