...them. If anybody has any books or papers that he is willing to contribute, they may be mailed to the committee at 11 West 22d street, New York City. If the articles are in New York the committee will be glad to send for them. Such things are almost valueless in individual hands, and are often scattered or lost. Collected, they may be of the greatest use, and, in any case, they will be preserved with the greatest care...

Ninety-two cannot complain of neglect. Mother Advocate, as she dubs herself editorially, coddles the freshmen with a tenderness almost touching, both in the editor's column and in "Topics of the Day."

Thus, the building will be almost completely fireproof. The janitor's office is in the south end, and the proctors' rooms will be on the second floor in the south end, and in the southeast corner of the gable projection. If this arrangement is adhered to by the authorities, the centre of the building will be greatly sought after by those who like...
