...weakest and takes the longest time in producing its results. But when it takes such a positive form as a general refusal to live in a certain building, it makes itself felt more promptly. It has taken only six or eight years of continual talk among the students and constant complaint in the College papers, to make it evident to the authorities that something must be done about Thayer. This year, finding that, notwithstanding the reduction in the rents of rooms in that building, a number of them were still unoccupied, it has been determined to heat the entries...
...that the new regulation in regard to extra courses is "unwarrantably severe." We think, on the contrary, that the Faculty have very good grounds for their action. The electing of some eighteen or twenty hours a week up to the time of the semi-annuals, or later, and the constant changing from one course to another, are certainly injurious to the student himself, and are also a source of great annoyance at the office.

The club must remember that it represents the College, and that, should they suffer any disgraceful defeat, it would to a certain extent affect the reputation for athletic excellence which the College possesses. With this word of caution, we wish the Cricket...
...aitegraph cannot get out of order, unless it rust for want of constant use. The cut attachment will last a lifetime, and the register is warranted never to make mistakes nor wear out. Each petition will be original and convincing. The Freshman petition will be timid, uncertain, but innocent; the Sophomore, ingenious, but insincere; the Junior, reckless; the Senior, independent, but having a "matter-of-course" air. From a moral point of view the new device is unobjectionable, since no one will be responsible for the nature of his petition...
