...become as much of a public nuisance as the periodical remarks about swimming in the college yard. If there are men here who want to see the field flooded, they should go to work in earnest and enlist the interests of the Athletic Association in the matter, and not encroach upon our patience by ineffectual complaints or suggestions...
