...make four! Price only five cents! Many other popular fallacies refuted at equally low rates!" I noticed one peculiarity about this booth. It was higher than the rest, and had an upper story in the gallery. This upper story I found was devoted to Ethics, and seemed to attract greater crowds than the lower part of the booth...
...those who habitually clip from the newspapers in the Reading-Room whatever items or articles happen to attract their attention had but a faint conception of the inconvenience to other members which is caused by the habit, I am sure they would buy a copy of the paper desired rather than mutilate a paper of which they are, by no means, the sole owners.

We wish, now, to urge upon all students the importance of attending it. Prize speaking is a matter of college interest, and should attract more than a handful of listeners. In other colleges it has a dignity and importance which it must lack here as long as empty benches are the only audience and no one cares to know who wins. It is to be hoped that Sanders Theatre will this year be well filled, especially...
