...listening faculty. In the course of a dozen or two such sittings, one gets to know the peculiarities of each individual step, and recognizes the passer-by as clearly as though the partition were transparent. When I hear various preliminary kicks at, and slams of, the neighboring doors, a shuffling step along the entry, a rattling of keys, a banging of tin pails, and a peculiar snuffle directly opposite my door-lock, I make preparations to receive the goody. In like manner, successive knocks at Nos. 7 and 8 deafen me to the appeals of itinerant pedlers and orange...

Negatively...
MEMBERS of the Senior Class who are so fortunate as to be catalogued in the last alphabetical half are to be congratulated on the possession of so obliging a monitor for morning chapel. A bulletin from him appeared this week on the South Entry door of Stoughton, announcing the total number of prayer cuts recorded against each man in his half of the class. Although this idea is novel and entirely original with Mr. Peckham, we see no reason why his method of posting the number of cuts should not be adopted throughout the College. It is certainly a very...
