...rather closets, with scarcely space to move round. Added to all this, the mattresses furnished were worn-out truck taken from an old steamboat. There was no shade around the place, and the house becoming very warm during the day, it was midnight before it became sufficiently cool to allow one to get to sleep. It is safe to say that no man got a good night's rest while at the quarters. The cramped dining-room immediately adjoining the kitchen was so hot that the men usually removed their coats before sitting down to a meal...
...merely lay on their oars and amused themselves by watching the woman's frantic struggles in the water, without going to her aid; and he ends up his article by some ill-chosen pleasantry in regard to the sparring at our last winter meetings. If the Gazette desires to allow people to air their ill-breeding through its columns, we have no possible objection; but we beg leave to suggest that an occasional regard for truth in the articles it publishes might add some weight to the communications themselves as well as elevate the usual standard of the Gazette...

In thus condemning too enthusiastic praise, we do not in any way favor the opposite extreme, discouragement being to our mind quite as undesirable; but if, in talking...
...another column we publish a communication upon what the writer considers dangerous concessions on the part of the College to the principle of co-education. The special grievance that has called this forth is that ladies are allowed to attend Professor Hedge's lectures in German 8, - a regular College course, - and that they have come in such numbers that the elective has been assigned to a new room, Harvard 6, in which there are no facilities for writing, and the ventilation is notoriously bad. So far as this is concerned, we entirely agree with the writer when he says...
