...students have lately received a warning from the Steward's office, that, if they wish to retain the rooms which they at present occupy, they must sign an agreement to that effect before the first of April following.

No one, I think, has noticed that smoking in the yard has become more frequent since the abolition of the rule against it. That the same result would follow in the case of disorder is probable...
