...mirrors out of windows. One would naturally suppose that this remark, which died years ago through old age and inanity, would have been allowed to rest in peace. This is only an unimportant one of many instances, and if they were all as harmless as this no great offence need be taken (although it must be rather disgusting to students to be held up to the public as entirely lacking in common-sense); but when the zeal of a reporter to supply news gets the better of his discretion, and he indulges in personalities and dispenses information which neither concerns...
...asking too much, which would neither interfere with the regular exercises of the College nor give any instructor extra work. By publishing the time and order of the examinations three or four weeks before they begin, the Faculty would give us the opportunity for review which we so much need. The men who had studied would not need then to cram, as they do now, in a manner as unsatisfactory to them as it can be to the Faculty.

...worse. Those who roomed in the building will suffer much inconvenience, but their pecuniary loss is small, thanks to those who were so energetic in rendering assistance. It has been suggested that a subscription should be made for the sufferers, but it seems to us that there is little need of such aid. What is needed is rooms for those who have lost their quarters. The best manner of supplying this need seems to be for the men who now room alone, and would be willing to take a chum, to leave their names with the Bursar, to whom...
