...belonging to the college, except the President and Fellows, etc., shall by threats or blows compel a freshman * * * to any duty of obedience." "No undergraduate shall keep a gun or pistol in the college or anywhere in Cambridge." Provisions are also made against students fighting. With the conservatism and foresight which ever characterized the fathers of the college, these regulations close with a clause providing for the punishment of "disorders or misdemeanors" which have perchance escaped them in the labors of compilation...

...rooms this evening." What a strange sight it will be when the society holds its first meeting under the new regime, each man meeting in his own room. What unity of action ! What harmony in debate ! What ease in obtaining a quorum ! It may be, however, that with admirable foresight the enterprising officers have arranged a system of the telephones so that although each man meets in his own room, there may be yet some connecting link to bind them all in that united, active whole, which, like the Art Club, has done much good work for Harvard...
