...Senior class to complain of the comparative paucity of yesterday's Freshman collection. A gift is a gift, whether it is large or small. The rest of the college, however, have good cause to be dissatisfied, particularly with the attitude of the Freshmen. In the first place, there was an unusually small proportion of the class present. Again, this is practically the only existing Freshman tradition. Freshmen, here, lead an unusually unmolested existence. They are not called upon to wear caps, or to refrain from sitting on any sacred fence. Even this modest assessment is only in the nature...
...Crew men complain that this question does not concern the undergraduate body. Perhaps it does not, but one would think that the men who work hard and faithfully for six months of the year, who go through a period of training much more rigid than any other sport, and who give the last ounce of their strength in the Yale race, would bitterly resent such a lack of appreciation on the part of the men they strive so hard worthily to represent.

All day long the temperature is noticeably below the comfort point. And at about 10 P. M. even this meager amount of heat disappears. "Early to bed and early to rise,"--is this the schoolboy formula under which Seniors suffer? Or are the dispensers of warmth following a policy of economy? If so it may be suggested that Seniors will pay rather than freeze. Will those in charge recognize their duty, or is this...
