...throughout the college buildings. We believe the authorities have not as yet, however, undertaken the difficult task of awakening every student in case of fire, but under the rapid strides of improvement in our government we can confidently look forward to the time when this will form a regular part of the duties of some official. Until that time we beg our "anxious friend" to calm himself and to trust to the natural wakefulness of students as a safety against fire...
...manner which gave assurance that he would make his mark. This feeling grew stronger towards the end of his college course and especially after the announcement of his successful competition for a Bowdoin prize.

Sever 37 is never noted as being a very warm place to sit but this morning it was terrible. It does seem as if the faculty might have some regard...
...Harvard Medical School, in Grove Street from which the students recently removed to the new building on Boylston Street, is at present occupied, in part, by the Dental School, though a large portion is unused, and likely to remain so for some time. It was erected in 1846, though its present deserted appearance would lead one to name a much earlier date. What the building will ultimately be used for is a question but there are not a few who see a favorable opportunity for an affirmative action on the petition recently received by the faculty to admit women...
