COMPLAINTS have come to us concerning the action of the Bursar in regard to the transfer of rooms. The old transfer is a thing of the past, and it has been said that if one man wants to give up a room which another is anxious to get, it is impossible for the thing to be done. He who first drew the room, it is said, must hold it, no matter how many homeless wretches may long to rest their limbs within. We have examined the matter and find that the case is not quite as bad as this...
This year every person who draws a room and signs an agreement must pay the whole rent himself, whether he uses the room or not, and he cannot transfer the room to any one else, or allow any other student to occupy it. No transfers of rooms are allowed, except in case of exchanges, and rooms which are not wanted can only be disposed of by surrendering them at the Bursar's office. By means of the new regulations we may look forward to a more just division of vacant rooms this year. As the number of applicants will...
Something might be done by altering the limits which divide the territories of the various clubs, but this would after all be but a superficial remedy.

Leaving the bright-roofed city of Quebec, the steamboat takes us down the St. Lawrence to Tadousac, one of the oldest French settlements in Canada. Here we transfer our provisions and rods to the smaller boat which plies between the mouth of the Saguenay and Ha-Ha Bay, - a charming trip, by the way, - passing Cape Eternity and overhanging Trinity opposite. All the way up the river we see at frequent intervals the mouths of tributaries. These small rivers are leased by the government for from five to twenty years to private parties for fishing purposes...
...American theatre goers should be biassed by national prejudice. But his anxiety was groundless, for Fechter was received with hearty applause and lenient criticism. His conception of the part proved very different from Booth's, nor did it fail to find crowds of admirers, who hastened, perhaps unduly, to transfer their allegiance. Unduly, because some of them have since returned to their former position, having found that Booth's Hamlet stands better the test of being seen again and again, than that of the German actor...
