There have been thieves in college in the past, and it is possible that there are some here now. At all events it is well to be on the safe side, and we would urge the directors of the Hall to return to the old system of leaving umbrellas checked in the auditor's office. A little more care on the part of the men who make such mistakes through thoughtlessness would result in the greater comfort of every...
...decided gain in certain moral qualities is also noted by Professor Shaler, side by side with the physical gain. Between 1864 and 1870 it was not uncommon to find Harvard students seriously the worse for habits of drinking.

Some geological work was also done in Southwestern England, and a few of the mines of Devonshire were examined during...
...surrounded by a lot of scantily-clad men. The men who have run on Craigie and Brattle streets are freshmen who did not know the custom, and so are excusable for the unintentional breach of faith. North Avenue is the best street in Cambridge to run on, as its side-walks are wider than those on any other. So it can be no sacrifice on the part of the men to follow out this request of the Cambridge people...
