...have suffered, and it would be gratifying to see the college do something, or pretend to do something to remedy it. The lecture rooms in the old hall of the University of Berlin are even worse than those in Sever in this regard, but the corporation occasionally relieve the student's agony by sending in an expert air-tester, who gathers in some atmosphere, and after testing it posts an analysis of its deadly qualities, not that any remedy is applied, but this simply removes the tension on the student's nerves...
...morrow at 12 o'clock, the books now at Leavitt & Pierce's and the Co-operative store to receive the names of those students who wish to participate in the torch-light procession will be removed. In order to make the procession a success befitting the 250th anniversary of the college, it is absolutely necessary to have a larger number of students march than have ever done so heretofore. For some inexplicable reason the list of signatures from the classes of '89 and '88 are much smaller than in the two lower classes. We understand that there are some...
Invitations have been extended to the members of the senior class to listen to Dr. Hale and Mr. Winsor in a discussion of the history of the university.

We are glad to find that the Harvard journal is not to enter in competition on the same field, but striking out into new paths we feel that its success will be greater in proportion as its popularity is extended...
...slight, but nevertheless important change in college control has within a few months been quietly effected among us. The transference of the oversight over student attendance at lectures from the office to the individual instructors, must be counted worthy to rank among the great strides made of late toward a perfect system of college government. Just as in politics, the nearer the government is to the people governed, the more effective it becomes, so in the case before us. The great reason for this new method of regulating attendance, lies in the fact that each instructor is much better qualified...
