Such negligence in the discharge of financial obligations is directly contrary to the first principle of sound government, whatever may be its magnitude. The fault has undoubtedly lain in divided responsibility and accumulating confusion of records rather than in any individual delinquency. Responsibility is bound to float rather uncertainly from one to another of an elective body of student officials; the custom of changing all class and college officers annually but widens, of course, the breach for error.

And there is the trolley's long descending squeal, the trucks that shift gears explosively and use rocket propulsion, the milkmen that talk shop. Then, through the hazy doze that comes with dawn, comes the sound of a bell that is rung. It has been truly said! When bedlam comes in at the winodw, sentiment flies out by the door...
