...Snod! Snod! a handsome Wilton carpet would be better than fifty cheap rugs; more beauty and wear, and less sham...
...contribute at all. Among the latter are the men who shout loudest over Harvard's victories. If these men refuse from a total lack of all class or college feeling, they deserve the most sincere pity; but if they refuse from pure selfishness, they deserve only contempt. Hardly less culpable are those men who, after subscribing, elude the collectors in every possible way, and subject them to continual trouble and annoyance.

...have two separate hours for each meal, and thus enable each table and each seat to be used twice over, if necessary.

One breakfast, for instance, might be from seven o'clock until a quarter of eight...

Many students, who do not row or kick football, rely upon gymnastics for their exercise; and when the pleasant weather is over, many others will seek the gymnasium, if its "attractions" are held out to them. It would be greatly for the convenience of all such men, if the old gymnasium might be opened. By this means extra...
