...anticipated as sure to bring inconvenience. The vote is cast, but before we relapse into "humble acquiescent silence," we would suggest how one cause of complaint might be done away with, bringing little or no inconvenience to the domestic economy of Memorial Hall. At present lunch is from half past twelve to half past one; the students who come out of recitation at twelve are obliged to waste a half-hour before lunch, or at least to employ such a small space of time to little advantage. This half-hour is of some importance to those who have recitations early...
...very often happens that it is only when an opportunity is irretrievably lost that we appreciate its value and importance, and see our own folly in neglecting it. Judging the future by the past, the same will be the case, I fear, with many of us in regard to improving the opportunities offered to us by the College in shape of our Evening Readings. When the readings in Shakespeare were given last year, though at an hour very uncomfortable to many of us, the interest was strong, and the room was crowded almost to suffocation; but now a course...

We are ignorant of the reasons for this most extraordinary enactment; it looks like wanton oppression. Neither are we informed as to the nature of the "theme and forensic...
...book was left on a table. It is even worse to ruin a book than to steal it, for the book is nearly useless, and the leaves quite worthless; but a man might return a book taken, as many books have been that have disappeared mysteriously in times past. We wish we had the name of the man who was guilty of this outrage, that we might mention him as one of the few men who ought to be "drummed out" of Cambridge, as thieves are from camp...
