...towels, if they are outside of the lockers, were put there for general use. I know there are others who have been served in the same manner as myself, and that such depredations are now becoming a positive nuisance.

Mr. Sparks did his own work thoroughly and conscientiously, but he did not expect much from "the boys." Like them, he thought examination a good deal of a bore. He was a genial and extremely popular man, and when he became president the students always felt that he was on their side. His was a large and generous idea, and in all of his published work he has deserved...
