Spring puts in an appearance, and with it must come its appropriate complaint. But you will say when you hear this particular complaint, "Oh that is the old one of 'keep off the grass!' " So it is.

Great Jove! And can these things be? The yard a lake of raging water, whose billows roll over the unprotected sidewalks, and never a glimmer of light at night to act as light-house on the vasty deep! This particular editor of the CRIMSON fell in three feet of water, and wandered off the main channel of the sidewalk into deeper gulfs twice last evening in voyaging from Holworthy to Weld. There was water everywhere, and nothing to guide him in it. The president is away, we know, but we must appeal to the pity and humanity of the residuary...
