...communication sent to us by the secretary of the Cooperative Society, a certain student, not a member of the society, has been found guilty of using a member's ticket in order to purchase goods at the society's store. Of course, such an offence is nothing more nor less than deliberate fraud, and fraud, too, against the offender's own fellow students. However, such a case, from necessity, must be so rare an occurrence among those who profess to be gentlemen, that we but briefly call attention to it, before dismissing it from mind...
...reading room. We have frequently heard complaints that some men come into the library and wander about in an aimless way, going from one alcove to another, taking down book after book, or listlessly turning over the volumes which lie upon the tables.

...never pass permanently into the hands of any college. Thus it will be seen that the rumor to the effect that, if we win the cup again this year, it will become our property for ever, is unfounded. We must not, however, on this account, strive any less earnestly for another victory, as we confidently hope that Harvard will again show her superiority in track athletics, although crippled by the loss of several men who have been of great assistance in winning...
