Such is the unhappy lot of those who room in the Yard dormitories. The Ensign School is apparently blissfully ignorant and wholly immune in regard to the Parietal Regulations, but one hesitates to think of the student's fate who should as successfully arouse the Yard some-time before dawn. If this nocturnal performance is necessary to the health and happiness of the ensigns, why cannot a more auspicious site be chosen for it?

If we had only known what fine things lay ahead how much better would have been our beginning. And yet how were we to tell? How were we to know when we started our beginners' Latin or Greek, studying the dullest sort of composition, of the glories of classic thought and poetry. This purposeless choice and following of our elementary courses can account for more wasted time than...
