Their nature is often displayed in their boisterous actions in the street, in recitation rooms and elsewhere, but at this period of the year, they seem to believe it their special province to do whatever they can to disturb the quiet and calm of the study-room, either forgetful that the examinations are approaching, or fiendishly taking delight in making themselves a nuisance to the unfortunate persons who are compelled to lodge near them.

There are two men in particular, - we could name them if we wished to, - who regularly disturb half the room every morning by their loud discussions on athletics and recitations. We have often remarked on the selfishness of such conduct which is all the more inexcusable as the reading-room is to many men the only place in college where they are able to secure anything like absolute quiet.
