...last issue, seen fit to assume. Waiving the question of constitutionality, the compromise which the Board has effected seems, on the whole, eminently satisfactory both to the early and to the late risers. The men who, during this most busy time of the year, wish to have breakfast after half past eight, are few compared with those who have so far appeared at the Hall before Chapel exercises. To be sure, the post-Chapel is much inferior to the pre-Chapel breakfast; but, if this sacrifice on the part of a few who prefer to work at night and sleep...
...that the Directors, without consulting the wishes of the Association, but feeling strongly in favor of the change which they ultimately made, took upon themselves power to say that the student shall come at quarter past seven if he wish a good breakfast, and that he must come before half past eight if he wish any breakfast at all. This seems to us to be a proceeding which, though in this case productive of good, is legally unjustifiable. We understand that they have power, not to make laws, but only to carry out the wishes of the Association...
...game of last Saturday which deserve notice. The police arrangements were the worst we have ever seen at any match game in Cambridge; many rowdies and other persons without tickets entered the grounds and took seats before play had begun, and the scene at the end of the first half of the game, when the "muckers," unrestrained in the least degree by the police, rushed in and covered the grounds, was highly discreditable to all those who had the management of the game. The view of the ladies on the lower benches was obstructed for some time, and general discomfort...
...rash and inconsiderate Argus, having ventured a "churlish criticism" of the Beacon, has been completely annihilated in half a column of simile, seriousness, and sarcasm. We, therefore, profiting by such an example, simply offer our congratulations to the Beacon for its peculiarly elevated style and tone. May we suggest, however, that it is not universally acknowledged that the line "Remote, unfriended, melancholy, slow," is by Shakespeare. Some persons contend that it is the first line of a lost work, "The Traveller," by an obscure poet named Goldsmith. We are in perfect sympathy with the Beacon, and only doubt whether...
SOME one has been trying to write Latin verse at Dartmouth, and our friend the Advocate has quoted some of it; but without comment. For about a week the Dartmouth has probably been half tickled with the republication, half annoyed that there was no pointing out of special beauties. We strongly suspect that in a few days the Darimouth will be thankful the Advocate did not comment, and rather wish it had n't published...
