...accustomed vigor. But if these propositions be impracticable, let us hear at least that the Chess Club is still among the living. Let the Club come forth from its retirement and alternate with the Shakspere Club during the dreary season of the Mid Years. To lend urgence to this appeal and eagerness to our readers, we will say that it has been rumored that the Chess Club has admitted to membership the "Annex" in a body...
Several correspondents have urged us to make a final appeal to the faculty, or a systematic attack on the janitor, for more heat and less darkness in the chapel.

What surprises me is the hopeless resignation it counsels, or seems to counsel. Harvard, as far as I know is the only institution of the kind, which sets up its back, and despotically proclaims "one day only as a Thanksgiving holiday." It looks to me a mere act of caprice, an old womanish attempt of the college to make itself talked about...
