Various friends of the college have suggested other conditions, but the faculty have thought it inexpedient to entertain them. Every effort which a class could possibly make to secure changes or concessions in the original terms has been made, but without effect.

A man has no right to decline a request for his room upon any such plea. When he graduates he will have ample opportunity to entertain his friends, and if he expects others to give up their rooms to him then it is certainly just that he should do the same now that...
