Several complaints of thieving at the gymnasium have recently been made, which prompt us to give a general caution. It is a humiliating fact, that, among a body of two thousand students, there are almost sure to be a few without principles of honesty. This year three overcoats with money and valuables have been lost, and numerous towels have mysteriously disappeared. The gymnasium authorities are unable to prevent this while men leave their property scattered around so carelessly as at present. The men using the lockers must understand that they do so at their own risk and so must...
...many reports are now rife in the college, of which some may be true but most are probably false. Much dissatisfaction is expressed because of the delay. The matter is of such vital interest to all undergraduates that their impatience is justifiable. Nevertheless we would urge the necessity of caution in criticizing the action of the faculty.

At present it looks as if nothing but very hard luck could snatch the final victory from us, but still it is not time to be overconfident.

We have a good nine, and we want that championship this year. We heartily congratulate...
...those "happy-go-lucky" fellows who room in the college dormitories in and about the yard, whose confidence in human nature is so guileless that they leave the doors of their rooms unlocked, we should like to say a few words of caution. In one of the college dormitories several thefts have lately occurred, resulting in the loss of several overcoats in rooms whose occupants were careless enough to leave their doors unlatched. One of the "goodies" in Weld was unfortunate enough a day or two ago to have some light-fingered wanderer walk off with the bunch of keys...
