...recitation room. Freshman German sections in University are often dismissed five or ten minutes before the close of the hour, and these dismissals are attended by so much noise that students in the other recitation rooms are greatly disturbed. We have no doubt that the freshmen are merely thoughtless, and we hope that they will be more careful of the rights of others in the future...
...players and, as they do not always speak in the softest of tones, the practice has excited some comment. Especially was such sulphurous language objectionable on Monday when several ladies were present at the game.

Let us hope, then, that, if we cannot have the much needed day policeman, at least there will ne no one who will be so thoughtless as to invite into the yard the very rascals whom we would have turned out and kept...
