...scout working for a college officer. It seems to us that this is an inconsistency on the part of the Bursar. All persons who occupy rooms in the college buildings should be on precisely the same footing in respect to any rule as to whom they are to employ or refrain from employing. We cannot see what difference it need make to the Bursar whether the person is an instructor or not, so long as he occupies a room in one of the college buildings. It is a trifle suggestive that he does not interfere with these gentlemen. The spectacle...
...correspondence column this week will be found a letter complaining once more of the new rule of the Bursar, which requires students rooming in the College buildings to employ janitors instead of scouts. This subject is one that cannot be too often touched upon; for so petty a piece of tyranny, the amount of annoyance it may cause is very great. We admit that it is desirable that the College buildings should have janitors; but why students should be called upon to fill out their inefficient salaries is not so clear. As our correspondent points out, there is no redress...
...WISH to give two reasons why the attempt to force us to employ the janitors as scouts seems to me wholly unjustifiable. One would think that the reasons would be apparent to any honest and fair-minded man. In the first place, this move of the Bursar's is nothing more than an attempt, which might almost be called underhanded, to get from the students more money to pay the current college expenses than is given by the regular stated college fees. It is apparent enough that the janitors, regular college employees, are underpaid with the understanding that they shall...
...have been easily filled. We will venture to say that even Sanders Theatre would not present many empty floor seats at a free recital given by a musician of Professor Paine's eminence. We regard it as the duty of Mr. Paine, the representative musician of the community, to employ this opportunity of enabling the public to hear piano-forte music of a high order. Be that as it may, these of us who do attend could then, at least, enjoy the concert under more favorable conditions. Boylston Hall must either be oppressively close and warm, especially in the back...
SEVERAL protests were made last year when it was announced that janitors would be placed in Matthews and Holyoke, and that students would be required to employ them, if they chose to employ anybody, to make fires, black boots, etc. We regret to learn that this system is to be extended next year to all the College buildings. The scouts are entirely inoffensive, as far as we can see, and it seems rather hard to turn away men some of whom have been around the College for more than twenty years. The chances are ten to one that...
