Every year the members of the photographic committee of the senior class have been put to a great deal of unnecessary exertion and worry by the dilatoriness of a few members of their class in getting photographed. As a result, the CRIMSON, towards the spring of the year, is flooded with notices from the committee, begging the members of the class to be more prompt in this matter. Such a condition of affairs should cease. All expect to be photographed ultimately, but from a natural sluggishness of disposition, many postpone this, as other things, until the last moment.

...University, with a small laboratory in the cellars directly beneath. After some years, the friends of the college began to realize the importance of the work which Professor Cooke was carrying on, and the very inadequate accommodations that were furnished for a successful building up of the department. The result was that by their generous contributions, enough money was raised to build Boylston Hall This was in 1859 and the lecture room in upper Boylston with a seating capacity of two hundred, was thought to be amply large for the accommodation of any class which might enter the college...

While his metrical work is hardly above the average, he has adhered rigidly to the meaning of the original, and the result is a really valuable English presentation of Virgil's wonderful poem. Mr. Hamilton leaves the beaten track of translators. He introduces the innovation of making each character speak in a different metre. This, of course, is in direct violation of Virgil's hexameter. His plea in self-defense...
...large number of answers have been received to the petition for electric lights in the library. With but few exceptions, these answers have been in favor of the petition, and the negative answers are, we think, the result of two mistaken ideas: either that the introduction of electric lights would render the danger of fire possible, or that their introduction would necessarily do away with the present reserve book system...
