...History in which much outside reading is required, have been exasperated beyond all reasonable limit of endurance by the custom, which has become quite prevalent, of taking reserved books from the library on unlimited and unrecorded leases. Those who are guilty of this breach of fairness are without doubt thoughtless of the rights of others, rather than deliberate disturbers of the college peace. Thoughtlessness, however, is no excuse. Protests have been made so that now everyone must know that he is committing a theft when he deprives others of rights belonging to all, by this selfish pilfering. A few lessons...

Let us have this plan discussed, and see if we cannot play something better...

These misinformed conservatives will learn with pleasure that Harvard has not only not abolished compulsory prayers, but has remodeled the old method of conducting them so that now they are more impressive than ever. The new change inaugurated yesterday marks a revolution. The teachings of the Quakers have received support. Hereafter no one will be required to officiate, but each student will quietly mediate, and wait...
