EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON :-Of late it has been the noticeable practice of some students to take the time in the bath rooms of the gymnasium to undress and dress. Though it is doubtless thoughtlessly done, yet happening so often in the crowded part of the afternoon, when three or four are waiting for a turn, it seems quite inexcusable.

Such a game ought to be "national" in the best sense of the word...

Like all modern hospitals it is only one story in height, that being found to be the best for perfect ventilation and quick heating. There are two large rooms or wards, with two small rooms and bath-rooms adjoining. By this arrangement two different diseases can be treated here, and if occasion demands it eight students can be accommodated. In the basement is a kitchen with a cook stove and all necessary utensils, a laundry and cloacae. The house is heated by means of a furnace, and there...
