...their inefficient salaries is not so clear. As our correspondent points out, there is no redress for those who employ janitors. It is not at all likely that the Bursar will sympathize with any complaints, and the complainant will thus be placed in an absurd and mortifying position. Whether a man who has held a position in a reformatory institution is well calculated to look after the interests and comfort of gentlemen remains to be seen. If it was this zeal for our interests which induced the Bursar to select such an individual for one of his appointments, he will...
...reference-books in the evening. If the hour were changed from five to four, probably the convenience of the largest number would be met; for where two persons wish to refer to the same book at the same time, the first who comes will get it, whether the hour be five or four, and where there is only one applicant, it makes no difference at what hour the book is taken out.

Pluck and perseverance have been the qualities by which laurels have been won for Harvard in the past, and if the coming managers of the Nine and Crew manifest that they have these qualities, we may look for the same brilliant results in the future...
...ought, after all, to preserve enough interest in the world - you need not have much, of course - to care whether your crew is supported, and whether your class gives say two-thirds of her quota towards its 'Varsity. I 'm quite aware that '82, as you state, failed to support both her crew and the 'Varsity; still, that class did not get a very good reputation by such conduct. Then, too, it is very fine to say, "Confound all class matters, what do I care for my class?" like the '80 men, and though, like '80, liberal with your money...
