...before the days of the six-bit fine. There would certainly be cooperation now, and fewer men would keep books in their rooms if the return was easier. Taking books back to Lamont just before dawn may be a small task, but it is a painful one in rain, snow or cold. The Student Council could do a lot of students a small good turn by working out some financially cooperative system with Lamont officials who might be reluctant to undertake the project all by themselves...

At Louis Goebel's Wild Animal Farm it turned the grounds to hay-littered mud, dripped from red circus wagons, blew coldly through a rusty cage in which two shaggy lions paced and turned. The lions were not exercised while the rain fell-they were mean cats, and overage (4½ years old) for training, and the bad weather made them sullen and difficult...
