Much of what Dr. Sargent had to say was quite true, and the students must lay the lack of sufficient hot water in part to their own foolishness. If those who come first would have a little more regard for those who are to follow, a great deal of unnecessary fault-finding would be obviated...
...many men as now regularly exercise during the afternoons, but, as reported in another column, some radical changes will be made during the coming summer. Still, what will be done next year, does not aid us much just now. It seems to show shameful negligence somewhere, that everyday the hot water gives out in the shower bath-room and the agonies of an icy cold ducking have to be endured immediately after vigorous exercise, or else one is forced to wait some ten or fifteen minutes for the hot water to begin flowing.

It is small encouragement to a man practicing on any of the teams to know that after five o'clock he will find the walls of the bath-room lined four deep with shivering mortals and the hot water all gone. If the college can not afford to enlarge the bath-room-which by all means ought to be done-it should at least put in larger pipes and more faucets, and, by more boilers or some other arrangement, manage to keep warm water on hand from five...
