There should be no distinction of persons, and "gentlemen of distinction and prominent standing in the University" - no matter if they are unfortunate enough to be extremely susceptible to cold - should, by being guilty of this impoliteness, lay themselves open to the reproof which they justly deserve. We should imagine that such gentlemen would have the sense to choose a time more fitting than that during the hours of meals to pay their visits to Memorial Hall...
...would be objectionable on the score of taste alone, and for which we hasten to express our sincere regret. A college paper, as the Courant justly says, is not the proper place for a religious discussion. But we cannot resist the temptation to say a few words on this matter, especially as it has occupied so much space in our recent exchanges. Religious feeling cannot be criticised and judged like other things; yet, although the semi-familiar manner in which religious matters are referred to in the Yale and Princeton papers would not be surprising in ignorant revivalists, it seems...

Sanderson thereupon alleged that he had distinctly stated that he was of age when he contracted the loan, and prosecuted...
...good reason for the proposed change, the desires of the students will hardly affect it; but if, as seems probable, it is only a spiritless revival of a bygone custom, a well signed petition may very probably accomplish its end. We would suggest, then, that students interested in the matter should start a petition for keeping the hours of recitation throughout the year as they at present...
