...with the college. Mr. Dunbar, as dean of the college faculty, performed the duties of a delicate position in a manner that commanded the respect of all who had dealings with him. However disagreeable the office of dean may have seemed to some at times, no one ever found fault with the occupant of the position, To hold such a position in a manner satisfactory to both faculty and students, is the hardest test to which a man's judgment and popularity...
EDITORS HERALD-CRIMSON.-There is, compared with the state of things last year, little reason for complaint concerning the board at Memorial, and one is reluctant to find fault at all, when such an improvement has been made. But when, inevitably, one morning in each week, the only meats provided are those ever welcome delicacies, liver and bacon and sausage, some who do not relish such dishes must either breakfast on bread and butter and sweet potatoes, or resort to the convenient, but for some expensive, order slip.

The heavy bound covers are a novel but sensible departure, while the outside design is very unique and artistic. In our opinion it makes a great mistake in publishing the usual string of personal squibs...
...Memorial as highly a even an '80 man could desire, but the writer seems to suppose that a mistake was made in setting the window. He says that Mr. LaFarge intended that Virgil should look toward Homer, but that the artist's design has been "sadly thwarted," and the fault when once pointed out lets us see and think of nothing else. I should like to say that the window was put in position by Mr. LaFarge's own men, and that Mr. LaFarge himself was present in the hall and superintended the work...
