...seriously hampered by the fact that all the reading done in the library must be during the day time. It is a lamentable fact that from some petty fear of a fire breaking out and destroying the magnificent collection of books, the college authorities have neglected doing anything toward lighting the library during the night. The argument of fire might have had some force during the days when gas was the sole means of illuminating public buildings, but since the introduction of electricity, which has now become superior to gas, the argument falls to the ground.

...correspondent says, the freshman second eleven is made up of very light men who are no match for the the regular team. They are conscientious, hard-working fellows, who are doing their best for the sake of their class, but they cannot give their team the needed practice. Any eleven, to do good work, must practice against a team which will not only play hard, but will score occasionally. Such practice it is the duty of the other classes to give.

There are two or three annoying circumstances which occur in Appleton Chapel Sunday evenings. In the first place, the gas lights which are placed around the side of the gallery are exceedingly disagreeable to those who sit up there. The heat and glare arising from the jets are such as to compel any one who consults his own comfort to hold a book before him or something of the sort to keep the light from his face. This evil could be easily reme died if the college authorities would take the matter in hand and put globes about the jets...
