Although we understand that so long as base-ball games are played on Jarvis, practice for a while on the track will be somewhat impeded, still if a little more courtesy and regard...
...shown, the impulse to economy must come from the homes of the student and not from the college authorities. In the great freedom of college life which exists to-day, the authorities cannot be called upon to occupy the place of ethical teachers, while few would advocate such a step backward as the imposition of restraint would necessitate...
