...Cambridge, in the "History of Middlesex County," by S. A. Drake, we learn, among other things, that "in 1786 a college uniform was prescribed for the students with particulars of form and color and a system of distinctions for classes by means of 'frogs' on the cuffs and around the button-holes. The wearing of this uniform was compulsory, and the regulation continued in force, without modifications, for a number of years." Some of the college rules may be of interest to undergraduates. For example: "No freshman shall wear his hat in the college yard, unless it rains, hails...
There is an idea prevailing in the breast of many men who are fond of "fun" of a more boisterous kind, that a Cambridge policeman is a pitiless avenger of students' escapades, whose only desire is to lie around corners and get students into trouble.

Why can't electric lights be placed around the yard, so that a man can safely venture out after nine o'clock - or in at two? I really see no reason why hot water cannot be brought to our rooms in the morning; the expense would be insignificant compared with the increased satisfaction of students. The authorities...
