...diminished. It has been suggested that the old gymnasium building, now used only for a carpenter's shop, be fitted up temporarily as a dining room and that the food be brought from Memorial before each meal.

The honor of winning the class championship is hardly worth the odium which is likely to attend that event, if gained in the same way as was Monday's game...
