...great inconvenience to the managing editor to find a string of notices of absolutely unnecessary length crowding out one of the other articles, and upsetting the form which is ready for the press. Most of the notices can be written in a few lines, whereas we often receive them full of superfluous words and sentences, making enough for half a column, and giving us the choice of cutting them down or leaving them out-and we wish to do neither. We want the CRIMSON to be a convenience and a help to our readers; but we shall feel greatly obliged...
...first consequence, and can best be attained by the use of open fireplaces instead of the usual furnace, which rarefies the air to an injurious extent. Plenty of exercise in the open air in agreeable company will prevent the bilious headache and mental depression which interfere so often with the usefulness of professional men.

It often happens that a man would like to read some magazine Sunday evening, but is prevented by this rule. Would it not be feasible to make some arrangement so that one of the pages or other attendants could be on hand to oversee the magazine department? If they merely have to manage...
...grins of the "stiffs" were to the Meds only smiles of welcome from old friends. They closed the doors after them, and a minute later they showed the bowl from the third-story window to the howling crowd below. This ended the fight. The Meds won the victory, and often as the sophomore passes the Medical hall you may see him looking up, with a tearful glance of mingled fear and sorrow, to the windows of the dissecting-room, which contains the pride of his sophomoric existence.- Pennsylvanian...
