...allow a misdirected letter to lie for days on his desk, but let him return it immediately to the post office or to the person to whom it was written. We feel sure that a little care and promptness on the part of the students would prevent any annoyance from all such unavoidable mistakes as must sometimes arise...
...different instructors for the students pursuing their courses, and it is thus impossible to consult this work during library hours except by attendance in the reading room, which is often very inconvenient. When the library contains but two copies of a book, arrangements ought to be made to prevent the reservation of both of these copies, so that one of them at least could be taken from the library. This could easily be accomplished. If two instructors desire to reserve the same book, let one book be placed in one of the alcoves and a notice placed in the other...
...external appearance the new catalogue for 1883-4 contrasts rather unfavorably with that of last year. The new cover is different from those that the book has previously been bound in, and if no other edition is to be published, as we understand, it will prevent any person from keeping a uniform set.

...immediate danger. The maul in goal from which we made our safety, was intensely exciting. It was occasioned by an intercepted kich of Cowling's who finally got the ball to the ground. In spite of the close proximity to our poles, it seemed that Henry's kicking would prevent further score, but just seven minutes before the close Terry secured the ball after a very bailliant rush by Twombly, and sent it over the bar, scoring the first goal for Yale. Much rough work followed, in which Richards of Yale was severely hurt, but the inning closed with...
...goods at the lowest possible cost. This seems silf-evident, but it is not always borne in mind by members or by outsiders. We learn that the superintendent has sometimes been hampered in his efforts to obtain goods from producers and wholesale dealers, by the efforts of these to prevent the trade of their retail customers from being injured by the society. A striking instance of this is the present situation in regard to stylographic pens, as described in the bulletin. Moreover, we are told that the difficulties of the superintendent in this respect have been increased by injudicious expressions...
