...theatricals and form an additional element of their success. We hope certainly that undergraduates will not be satisfied with securing seats for themselves, but will aid as much as possible in placing tickets among their friends.

The regulations meant to discourage dissipation and immorality are directed against the temptations of the town outside the college walls. Students are rigorously restrained from frequenting public houses and saloons; this hardship, however, is mitigated by the privilege of obtaining at cost from the college stores as much wine or spirits as is desired. After all allowances are made for debaucheries in other towns, there are good...
