...members of Boston University are naturally somewhat sensitive. But this is hardly sufficient excuse for such flagrant abuse of our brother editor.

To be sure, those who are going in never hurry; but the numbers of those who are eager to get out keep many waiting and cause great confusion. All this inconvenience might be remedied by leaving both doors open for the five...
