...suggestion a correspondent makes that the "Harvard Brass Band" and the drum corps turn out with the student delegation which is to attend the Independent rally in Boston, is not a bad proposition. Other considerations aside, the practice to be obtained would more than repay the trouble, while the accompanying fun would serve further to tip the scale in favor of this scheme.

It is very seldom that any damage whatever is done to a room, but if there should be, we feel sure that the gentlemen who use the rooms will see that everything...
