...fixed hours. Nothing of the kind is intended. On remarking some time ago that students cannot be driven anywhere by regulations, I was contradicted by the dean of another institution who insisted that by regulations they can be driven to the Devil. I accepted the amendment. We expect to rely upon creating the right environment, upon the influence that can be brought to bear by instructors, by upper classmen and by the leading figures among the Freshmen themselves. Good traditions are the mainstay of good order, and they are not hard to form and preserve, if they are rational, normal...
...hockey season, in preparation for which practice is even now under way, will soon be at hand, and it is but reasonable to expect that the interest shown in the games this year will be as keen as ever. However, the hockey team is handicapped by the lack of a rink, which it may call its own, and so must go to Boston to play its contests in the Arena. As a result, undergraduates who wish to see the games are forced to pay a high price for seats which do not necessarily enable them to sit together...

If there should be a recurrence of such trouble in Memorial Hall, ringleaders should be sought out and summarily punished. However such strict measures should...
...special arrangement with the Associated Press and the Western Union, the Union will receive the returns from the Presidential election Tuesday. The bulletins will be procured just as promptly and will be just as complete as those sent to the newspapers and public gatherings in Boston. It is expected that they will begin to arrive about 6 o'clock in the evening. They will be posted on a blackboard in the Living Room, and the building will be kept open until the issue is practically settled, unless the interest of its members ceases before that time. The management does...
