LAST Thursday afternoon the Non-Society men of '78 held a meeting for the purpose of finding out the general opinions and wishes among themselves in regard to Class Day. It was unanimously resolved, that at the class meeting a majority of the votes cast should be necessary to secure a candidate's election. In their nominations for class officers the Non-Society men showed a commendable spirit by nominating candidates independently of the sections to which those candidates belonged...
...SENSE of the eternal fitness of things would seem to dictate that the papers should leave Memorial Hall in peace; but complaints have been pouring into us in regard to the short supply of food furnished.

...might be expected, the several articles published in your paper last year on the subject of ventilation produced no effect. It is admitted, I believe, by nearly all architects, that they are unable to lay down rules in regard to the ventilation and acoustical properties of buildings. They say that in the present state of the building art these things are a mere matter of chance. This being the case, we cannot find fault with the constructors of our recitation-rooms, particularly as they were most of them built long before ventilation was ever heard of. What I do want...
