...have bad but a few days' experience of the early-hour system, and already complaints are heard about what before was anticipated as sure to bring inconvenience. The vote is cast, but before we relapse into "humble acquiescent silence," we would suggest how one cause of complaint might be done away with, bringing little or no inconvenience to the domestic economy of Memorial Hall. At present lunch is from half past twelve to half past one; the students who come out of recitation at twelve are obliged to waste a half-hour before lunch, or at least to employ such...
...Record is extremely religious again, having apparently fallen into the hands of embryo theologians. It has a great deal to say about a new chapel which has just been erected at Yale.

...produced; nor to arrange every corner of a room with a studied attention to the picturesque, which would make it look like a magnified reproduction of a modern genre picture. But it is, if not absolutely necessary, at least highly desirable to hang upon your walls pictures that will suggest ideas; pictures at which you can look with pleasure for more than a single moment; pictures of which you will in time grow fond, instead of longing at the end of a couple of months to pitch them out of the window...
