...court? Of course there are many difficulties in the way of it, but I think the idea worthy of some consideration. If it is urged that a great deal of space is now being taken up by the proposed plans, I would venture to say that some of it might be better employed than in twelve bowling alleys. There are comparatively few who care for that sport, and most of those are Freshman...
...aversion all students feel towards U. 5. Only the longest experience will enable a man to calmly draw near that fatal threshold and unmoved send up his petition.

...introduced requesting the removal of Mr. Farmer, on the ground that the students were leaving the Hall. The Directors were unanimous in the opinion that the desertion was caused by Mr. Farmer's incapacity, and they were prevented from saying so only by the thought that such a statement might defeat, as before it had defeated, the contemplated change.
