...most noticeable here. On the contrary this set is small in numbers and despised by the other sets. The proportion is not one in twenty-it is perhaps one in forty. The faculty are not too lenient, but are frequently unduly severe, and they do not hesitate to inflict suspension or expulsion as the occasion requires...
...precincts of the University. Following as it does a series of attacks upon the good name of the University published in a number of daily papers, the article has aggravated the feeling among the students that Harvard is most unjustly dealt with by those who have the power to inflict injury if they so desire.

The Malden and the Boston Public Libraries inflict fines of only two cents a day, and each has to deal with a much larger and more troublesome class of users than does Gore Hall. You quote me as claiming that the student "should be notified when the time is expiring." Whereabouts in my communication did you find that...
