...reported that a certain college has decided to make its students pay for any desks they may hereafter disfigure by cutting. This puts a summary end in one institution to what has been hitherto an almost universal custom. Somehow, these rude signs seem to be links between the students of different generations, and every one has felt a certain inherent right to carve his initials wherever he pleased, even though from motives of discretion he did it surreptitiously. Few indeed have been the books written on school life, in which the grey-beard did not point...
...freshman eleven at Andover on Wednesday last, probably brings vividly to '87 the fact that their eleven is not absolutely sure of victory whenever it plays.

Nothing could be more rude. If there are any persons at Memorial whose instincts are so refined, whose delicate sense of courtesy is so great that they cannot refrain from noticing an unintentional discourtesy except...
...repressed by them. It is to great a nuisance to be endured longer. If men do not care to study themselves, at least common courtesy ought to keep them from greatly annoying those who are compelled to work. A little reflection must show any one who has been rude enough to create a disturbance that he has done a most unjust thing, and will, we sincerely trust, lead him to cease hereafter...
