...article entitled "Music Among Us," in the last Advocate, calls out the following remarks: The ideas expressed about the Glee Club and the Pierian were true enough, but when the writer spoke about the Chapel choir, he said some things that were unjust and unfair...

In this manner we were led, much to our regret, into making an unjust attack upon an officer of the College who is much respected by all who have anything to do with him.

To advertise one price, and, when the rooms are taken, to raise that price, is manifestly unjust. Two hundred and fifty dollars is not too much to be asked for Holworthy rooms, but I have looked in vain for a notice that the rent of other and very undesirable rooms - such as those in the upper stories of Thayer - is to be reduced in proportion to the advance...
