...meeting of the committee is a repition of the futile efforts of the last to accomplish something. It is simply apalling to consider the amount of learned thought which is displayed in the ever recurring and ever instructive "voted to adjourn." We are glad to see that, in the lull of the great athletic problem as to which college lost the most blood in the glorious foot-ball campaign of last season, the seniors of Williams feel called upon to declare themselves in favor of a more extensive study of Physiology. But is not this tinged with a little...
...past years by incessant complaints of the thought-lessness of those musically-inclined students who persist in keeping up a vigorous course of piano or violin practice during examination time, greatly to the annoyance and indignation of their temporarily studious neighbors. But this year there seems to be a lull in this species of vexation.

Then the noise begins again, and continues with variations and slight interruptions throughout the hour, and perhaps day, Meanwhile the speaker is annoyed and listeners are distracted. Some remedy ought to be known...
...This is followed by declamation by members of the junior class. The exercises on the part of the students are more varied. They read, study, talk and do any thing they may please, until some few are selected and made an example of. Then there is a lull for a few days, but soon the disorder becomes worse than ever. The rules in regard to attendance are very strict. No liberty whatever is allowed. Every student must be in chapel every morning. If he is not, a deduction is made from his average, unless he has a good excuse...
