...first Freshman smoker of the year will be held this evening. It will give opportunity for the first-year men to get an idea of what their class really contains. There are various elements in every class which do not come in contact except through some such means as a smoker. Before these elements become too firmly fixed in their particular interests, it is well to mix them up together as thoroughly as possible and give the other man a broader idea of what the first year of University life should mean.

No mention is made of cutting on Saturday, wisely enough. It might be mentioned here, however, that while cuts on Saturday morning by men going to New Haven are not officially excused, they are generally charged...
...find it hard to believe that there are men in the University so mean-spirited as deliberately to use the Union without becoming members. It is mainly through ignorance or failure to realize the intentions of the donor that this nuisance occurs. A glance at the rules of the club will dispel any such ignorance; a reading of Major Higginson's words would make anyone ashamed to use his gift without contributing something...
