Here we have the same injustice to those whose homes are at a distance. Suppose a man lives sixty or seventy miles from Cambridge, and does not wish to incur the expense necessary to going each week, yet wishes to go at irregular intervals throughout the year. He cannot. Unless he goes home on every one of the thirty-eight Sundays of the Academic year, he must limit himself to six. Is this fair...
...Sunday with them occasionally, but what one of them would be willing to entertain him every Sunday for thirty-eight weeks? Yet this is the only way in which he may visit them. I cannot conceive of a more absurd regulation. What possible harm can there be in a man's spending his Sundays where he pleases, so long as his family is satisfied...

In this connection it is proper to call the attention of the Faculty to the fact that some professors are not accustomed to make public the marks of the mid-year examinations.

The Pen is read everywhere, and anything you write will have a large and appreciative audience. Do not, however, let them publish the addresses you deliver before the literary societies. They may be well enough in their place, but entre nous, they smack a little of the Occident. Besides, it is well not to identify one's self with one's companions...
