In parting with Mr. Mason, therefore, we are losing not only an able officer but also one who was to us at once an omnipotent dictator and a sympathizer in our troubles...
...take towards the would-be applicant. Indeed, it is strange that these dormitories which stand high in undergraduate estimation should seemingly have passed so completely out of the hands of the college. Men applying for rooms in college dormitories under the Bursar's jurisdiction can always be sure of courteous and careful attention. Slipshod indifference, however, seems to be they keynote in dealing out the rooms of three of the best dormitories in college...
