...members of the crew seem to have little to say about Harvard's crawl. It seems to be too much for them. [Acta Columbiana.] Perhaps other good reasons exist for their silence...
Complaints have lately been uttered about the delay suffered by various persons in ordering books and other articles through the Co-operative Society. Upon investigation, it seems to us that substantial grounds for this dissatisfaction do exist. An order was kept at the office in which members duly wrote their commissions, but in the delivery the precedence of names has not always been followed, and the articles on hand have been distributed without reference to person.
