...Seniors are forced to complain, between chattering teeth, of the frigid atmosphere in their rooms. All day long the temperature is noticeably below the comfort point. And at about 10 P. M. even this meager amount of heat disappears. "Early to bed and early to rise,"--is this the schoolboy formula under which Seniors suffer? Or are the dispensers of warmth following a policy of economy? If so it may be suggested that Seniors will pay rather than freeze. Will those in charge recognize their duty, or is this a matter in which the Student Council must act to express...

It is therefore proposed that the Office no longer keep the attendance of members of the two upper classes at any lectures or recitations. No single measure would do more to develop...

The meet promises to be the most interesting schoolboy gymnastic contest ever held in New England. Last year Phillips Exeter Academy won the meet, although closely pressed by the other teams...
