...several weeks at least, we may imagine what inconvenience will be suffered by two hundred men on account of the ungentlemanly action of one man. Such carelessness, if we speak charitably, or selfishness, if we give the right name, ought to meet with open reproof and penalty, and we regret that the offenders, who have on several occasions purloined books from the library, have not had their offence made known to the public. An absolute entailment of all library privileges for a long time would not be too heavy a punishment for their utter disregard, both of library rules...
Although the conduct of Harvard men in recitation rooms is proverbial for decorum, yet we regret to say that there are some little matters which ought to be of more concern to the students.

There are very few men who are so thoroughly self-engrossed that they forget this fact; but we have heard of some, we regret to say, who, ensconcing themselves behind a huge pile of reserved books and settling down for an afternoon's work, are audacious enough to put on an air of offended privilege if any one asks them if he can be allowed to look at one of the books; and even more...
...Acta Columbiana has just made its reappearance with a handsome new cover. We regret to say that it complains of lack of support from the college. A paper of such merit should not be allowed to go unappreciated by a college with only one other paper to support...
