...talking, tramping of feet and banging of chairs. Nothing is more annoying in such a place than a scuffing of feet, a drum beat on the resonant desk, or a dry episode coming from three benches away. Some communication is necessary and so, of course, is walking, but I suggest that the students be reminded of their present thoughtlessness and of the regards they owe to the rights of other people. The College has done its share by the numerous placards posted about the building; all that is left is an appeal to manners and a sense of justice...

The songs are good ones, but will be absolutely useless because no one has learned to sing them, and this might easily have been done yesterday. I would suggest that the CRIMSON reprint the songs as a supplement to Saturday's issue and urge every man to take a copy with him to the game and follow the band with the songs. Moreover, the ushers, 250 in number, could site together after the game has begun and lead...
