...this connection it might be well to suggest that some other room be selected for the hearing than the meeting room of the Gymnasium. Much interest in this foot ball question has already been manifested by almost all the students. Every indication points to a large meeting. Why, therefore, should not a larger room, such as Sever 11, Holden Chapel, or Boylston hall be made the place of meeting...
...very soon approach on the left the Harvard Astronomical Observatory, towards which we look with a curiosity which cannot be satisfied until the two or three days are announced on which the students, (but then only seniors), will be admitted.

Imagine his supreme disgust, when looking for his coat after dinner, to find that it had been stolen, almost under his very eyes. Now why should we be continually troubled by annoyances of this nature? There is no doubt but that the whole system of thievery could be promptly broken up if the authorities would only adopt the proper and needful course. At Yale the same state of affairs...
