This condition of the floor, I understand, is to remain until the next Assembly, February S, - nearly a month. Whether it is right that the use of a college building for private purposes should be granted to a number of outsiders, or to a portion of the faculty, when the students are not inconvenienced, may be an open question. But, if the gymnasium was built for the use of the students, it surely is not right or just that, for the benefit of outsiders, they should be deprived of a portion of the advantages of the gymnasium, or be made...
...lamps equal to the present number of naptha "dips," would be enough better to make up for the additional expense. Further more, the odors coming from the naptha lamps are anything but pleasant, and if a man happens to pass under one of these objects at the right moment he stands a good chance of receiving a sprinkling of naptha sufficient to perfume his hat and clothing for some time.

It may be made to turn our thoughts, from the almost unavoidable sordidness around us, to the higher, and finer things of life. That the so-called daily prayers at Harvard fail in this purpose, is too true. They stimulate few or none toward better...
...will do better. To blame a writer because he does not hold your view in such a matter, is arrogant; for you are as likely as he to err. A little more kindly toleration from both is desirable. The optimist should recognize that, after all, the pessimist may be right; the pessimist should have the courtesy to acknowledge that an optimist is not necessarily a fool; for all human beings - including pessimists - are likely to make mistakes...
