...present state of things. The proprietors of these lockers do not occupy them themselves, they do not even take the trouble to lock them; and the result is that while many students are unable to obtain accommodations, there stand these lockers open and empty. The owners neither use them nor permit others to use them. Surely such a state of things is outrageous; and there ought to be some way to make those, who do not intend to use their lockers, give them up to men who would use them. On the other hand, men, who now hold lockers...
...subject, but necessity is even more powerful than imprudence. One of the notably weak spots of the yard is that beautiful, sloping, inclined, hollowedout, well watered and ever-mud-adorned stretch of path from Weld to the library. We will not claim that we have here a right to use the rather sweeping term, "Scylla and Charybdis," but that does not alter the fact that a wet day causes this particular piece of walk to resemble closely the famous bog in which the victim sank deeper the more he struggled.

We have supposed that all the men in college knew well...
...should read the chapter carefully before deciding upon the studies of his college course. In the last chapter Professor Laughlin has given the quintessence of his experience in teaching; and his methods, as is well known, have given great impetus to the study of political economy at Harvard. The use of diagrams plays an important part in his plan. Diagrams are invaluable to a thorough comprehension of many principles of political economy, but it is a question if the writer has not laid too much stress upon this point. In some parts of the subject diagrams can be used freely...
