...evenings when they have nothing to do, "Oh, if the library were only open now I should use it." Fully one quarter of the service which could be given to students by the library is absolutely destroyed by the obstinacy and stubborness of the college authorities. Financial considerations certainly cannot stand in the way, as the recent bequests to the library have placed it in their power to put in the electric light. Will the faculty pursue their old tactics of the "day-time is good enough for us, and therefore is good enough for you;" or will they have...
...correspondent says, the freshman second eleven is made up of very light men who are no match for the the regular team. They are conscientious, hard-working fellows, who are doing their best for the sake of their class, but they cannot give their team the needed practice.

If they accept the Yale challenge they will do it with their eyes open. Some answer should be sent soon...
...which is discouraged during the first half of the college course or remains wholly uncultivated. It is not right that men of such tastes should not have a chance to develop themselves. The college papers offer now the only opportunities to such men, but it is evident that these cannot satisfy the need. It is with a view to remedy this evil that the suggestion is made about a literary society for sophomores. Such an organization should have in it a social element, yet it should not be so strong as to exclude men of literary ability for the sake...
