...down was that every undergraduate must wear a black coat on Sundays. Disobedience to this law incurred nearly the same punishment as drunkenness or any of the other capital crimes. The narrator remembers a circumstance in connection with the rule which is worth repeating.

He had not been long here before he was summoned before a member of the faculty and his attention called to edict of the Bible. Being in straitened...
Many students on their way to Fresh Pond to enjoy the bracing effect of a quiet afternoon's skate have doubtless noticed along Lake View Avenue a large, square, brick building, with massive granite columns in front.

To such men, noise and laughter in such a place are a great annoyance and a very serious one. We beg all men who are thoughtless enough to disturb their mates in this way, to be considerate in the future. We would also advise the Library authorities to provide chairs...
...quiet afternoon, with just enough of coolness in the air to make a warm gun barrel acceptable to the fingers, attracted a dozen marksmen to the Watertown grounds on Wednesday. The changes made in the arrangement of the shooting shanty and the trap pits have greatly improved the grounds, and the men present seemed well pleased with the accommodations. The first match contested was at 10 clay birds, 18 yards rise, thrown from five angles. The scores were as follows: W. H. Slocum, 9; F. S. Palmer, 8; M. H. Clyde, 6; F. S. Mead, 5.
