...view of recent occurrences, it seems highly necessary that some attention should be paid to the complaints made against the present exposed condition of the key rack in the gymnasium. It is often remarked by visitors that the keys might as well be left in the doors of lockers as upon the rack, so far as safety to the contents of the lockers is concerned. And if the intention is to prevent dishonesty, this is true. Of course a reliance upon the honor of the students dictated the placing of the rack in its present position; but to avoid further...
...recent fainting cases in Mass. 3 have demonstrated two things about that picturesque, but uncomfortable room. First, that the upper windows in the south end are seldom, if ever opened; this makes the room excessively close.

...benefit that we can see. Perhaps the only argument that Harvard men can offer for the race is that it will be one more contest with their most distinguished rival. Such an argument, however, has weight. Probably a similar argument has also largely influenced the Yale freshmen in their recent action. If our freshmen find that one more race can be rowed by them without seriously increasing the strain and expense already necessary, we think that a race with Yale would be a pleasant and even desirable addition to our present inter-collegiate contests. But we hope a meeting...
