...recent writer says in regard to the girl of today, "Complain and find fault as we may, we must acknowledge that the modern miss is after all, a pretty nice institution, and one that we wouldn't care to part with. Why grumble at their vanity, you silly fellow, when you are the only one to profit by it? If they dress well, talk well, even flirt just a little bit, we don't care about having them any different than they really are, and with all due regard for our grandmothers, we say, God bless the girls of today...
...great majority of such complaints are only too well founded. It is painfully evident that an immediate and radical improvement in the management of the Hall is necessary. But we would remind the fault-finders that the remedy is in their own hands. No one has a right to complain of the management of the Dining Association unless he is willing to give some time and pains to its improvement.

Nor should our valued cotemporary complain of "athletic tabular views and ornithological ghost-stories," so long as they furnish a text for its widely famed humorous pieces. And when, as a parting thrust, it playfully insinuates that the Crimson is beyond its depth in speaking of matters Shaksperian, it is guilty of a degree of arrogant vanity which...
...have heard Special Students complain of the delay which they experience in getting their marks. While we admit that there are some of this class of students to whom their standing cannot be of the slightest interest, there are others who are deeply interested in their work, and who show that interest by constant application. It seems to us that instructors should find no difficulty in discovering who the latter are, and should take especial care to give them their marks at the time when they give them to regular students...
