...superiors, to adopt their customs and their language. The transition from the refined conversation of home life or the puerilities of school life is strangely sudden; they are dropped or intensified almost immediately - and because this transition is so sudden we are led to ask seriously whether the use of Harvard slang is merely an affectation or an unconscious habit. Members of the freshman class may always be relied upon to betray their collegiate standing by an inordinate use of purely Harvard expletives. This would seem to argue affectation.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I want to give expression to a feeling which prevails among many students at least, in regard to the use of the gymnasium for the Cambridge Assemblies. If the closing of the gymnasium for half a day last Saturday, or the inconvenience of having apparatus misplaced for a day or two this week, were the only objection, I suppose little fault would be found; but when, for the benefit of Cambridge people, or of a part of the faculty, the gymnasium is, to a certain extent, rendered unfit for exercise and even dangerous to those who practice...

This is, to say the least, an inconvenience, and although the matter is a small one, it is to be sincerely hoped that hereafter the room will be ready for the crews...
...seniors of Amherst will present early in February, Wycherly's drama, "The Country Girl," played last year at Daly's New York Theatre. Mr. Daly has consented to the use of his play, and has moreover assisted the men with valuable suggestions. A director from the Boston Museum will have charge of the performance...
