...various colleges. Princeton is especially active just now in founding new Princeton clubs in different places that may reunite her graduates and also keep alive a tender feeling, for the University, which shall cause them to send their sons to the same college. Harvard has no need of this sudden outburst of proselytism, because Harvard clubs are already very widespread and influential. The work has been done in past years and we are now reaping the benefits of it. The way in which these clubs come to be founded is a very natural one. Almost every student looks back upon...

Abstraction of personal property, i. e. stealing, is the latest and ever recurring complaint. Hats, umbrellas and books, all disappear in a most sudden and mysterious manner. Those who take other people's property, whether from absent-mindedness or not, seem to have no regard for time or place. Memorial Hall and the gymnasium suffer alike. But to speak seriously, things are in a bad condition when a man cannot leave his hat on a hook in the gymnasium and find it again after exercising. Affairs are just the same at Memorial. Books and umbrellas disappear as rapidly there. Moreover...
