We would that all students could share our pleasure in Christmas anticipations, but we suppose some few are compelled to remain in Cambridge, and seek mental strength from the library, and physical satisfaction from the Christmas dinner at Memorial. For the Jester and our associate the Advocate, we would wish all the blessings of the season and renewed strength of wit and literary acumen. We rejoice in the thought that the faculty can now have...
