...Monday the Corporation voted "not to accept the subscriptions on the part of the students to pay for board walks in the Yard." The grounds of the refusal are, first, that it is not proper for the Corporation to accept subscriptions from students; secondly, that in the case when they did so, the men that subscribed for heating Sanders Theatre grumble because they were called upon to do it, and that this grumbling has come to the cars of members of the Corporation. With regard to this, we cannot see that there is any appreciable difference between receiving money from...
...weeks, unless a sufficient amount is subscribed before that time. All who have had reason to complain of the shameful condition of the walks so far - and who has not? - are urged to subscribe at once, and in order to save the trouble and delay of collecting subscriptions, to pay when they put down their names.

I think not. A. speaks of our debt to the College as if it were necessarily a pecuniary debt. It seems...
...home will afford abundant leisure for reading. Or is it possible that the President recommends the use of Sunday as study-time? Moreover, he argues that by remaining in Cambridge we can enjoy "intellectual conversation" with our fellow-students. Is "intellectual conversation" confined to students? And does he pay a very high compliment to our home surroundings when he intimates that we must remain in Cambridge for this mental stimulus...
