...expulsion, by the Director of the gymnasium, of the trainers who were present at the first winter meeting, was a most commendable action. Our only regret is that the action was not taken sooner.

Trainers have their places without doubt, but they do not belong in the Hemenway Gymnasium.

It is not only ungentlemanly, but it is unfair for any one to occupy a bath room longer than absolutely necessary; the accommodations are already inadequate to the demand, and any action tending to make this inadequacy greater is censurable. Men in college, possessing a spirit of good sense and genuine humanity, would welcome some rules at the gymnasium to limit the time for using a bath-room. But better than rules, however strenuously enforced, would be the general effort of those...
...special meeting of the board of overseers was held this morning at No. 70 Water street, the Hon. E. R. Hoar, presiding. Messrs. Lyman, Russell and Hale were appointed to consider what action the board should take, in view of the recent death of Mr. Francis E. Parker and Mr. Henry P. Kidder. It was voted to concur with the president and fellows in their votes appointing W. C. Smith, A. B., and J. McG. Goodale, A. B., proctors for the current academic year; W. Schofield, LL. B., instructor in torts for the ensuing academic year; J. B. Warner, LL.B...
