There is sufficient available space in the strangers' galleries and Sanders Theatre to meet any exigency of that nature.

I knew, indeed, every one of the men mentioned, and their present positions, but like those who live nearest any odd or fine work of nature and for that very reason never realize the wonder of the scene as perfectly as do visitors from a distance, I possessed no definite realization of the part which the college papers have done in fitting men for journalistic work.
