...their hose was so poor that it broke twice. Much furniture was destroyed by being thrown recklessly out of the windows, while a great deal was injured by water. The lesson that this fire should teach the Corporation is very evident. Although they are willing to run the risk of financial loss from fire, they are bound to consider the number of lives that they are responsible for; they are bound to do all in their power to prevent such a calamity as the burning up of twenty or thirty students, which is not only possible, but very probable, under...

The facts on the other side have been produced in the Advocate, and it seems well that we should produce ours. The Quartette in question stated, on their earlier programmes, that they were the "best musical talent" of Harvard College, and called themselves the "Harvard Arion Quartette."
