...course. We find by a communication which appears in to-day's issue that this loose behavior is not by any means confined to the course in physics, but pervades to a lesser extent several other freshman courses. Some freshmen evidently lack the wit and common sense to understand that because they are not forced to act in a certain manner during lectures, that they are perfectly free to abuse this privilege howsoever they see fit, "from rolling pennies down the aisle," to reading papers and talking. To men who are given to such practices as these...
...Lathrop was often compelled to call to persons to keep off the track. Another cause of dissatisfaction was experienced from the attitude of some of the lookers-on who would continually step over the wooden sides bounding the track and interfere with the movements of the contestants.

Christ has often seemed dark to the inquiring man; but the man looks up and sees a duty...
...overlooked, but when it comes to dilly-dallying for weeks at a time the tardiness admits of no excuse. The last issue of the Monthly was very late in appearing and the April number should have been ready two weeks ago. When a magazine gives its subscribers to understand that it will appear at stated intervals during the year, the editors should conslt something more important than their own convenience in having the publication ready on time...
