...wish to make a mild protest against the custom, so well illustrated in Fine Arts, last Saturday, of leaving a lecture without good excuse before the end of the hour. In the recitation in Fine Arts Saturday, nearly fifteen men went out one after the other, making much unnecessary noise, and disturbing not only the class but the instructor especially. Of course it is conceivable that there are times when it is necessary to leave a lecture before it closes, and such a case is exceptional and excusable.

...freshman crew. From the original forty candidates the following men are now training: Dougherty, Shepard, Cutler, Potts, Richards, Beech, Thayer, Freeman, Brown, Little, Cushman, Smythe, Sterry, Johnston, Spaulding and Foerster.

Nor have hard blizzards necessitated even the replacing of "windows broken in war time." The roses bloom...
...until the cold, windy weather made it impossible to hit anything, and so the team went to Springfield trusting in a great measure to the chances of the day. If the scheme recently proposed is only put through and matches are held throughout the winter on mild days, we shall at least have some sort of an idea of the ability of our team. Secondly, most of the time during this fall the traps have been out of order so that the pigeons were thrown badly and afforded no good practice. Finally, some arrangement should be made to economize time...
