...cater in some degree to the changed tastes of his boarders and should provide a different menu in some respects. But we find the same old bill of fare that we have had all winter still continued, with its heavy meats and solid desserts. Some change ought certainly to be made. Many men would willingly dispense with certain articles of fare if these were replaced by delicacies or relishes more peculiar to the season. For instance, if instead of the hot soup, the interminable boiled cod and two kinds of heavy, greasy meats, there were substituted partly some lighter confections...
...four dollar a day board for $4.50 a week. But what we want more that anything else is a change, and this can easily be afforded us without any undue expenditure. It is really remarkable the way in which Memorial seems to be bound to a certain bill of fare that inevitably swings around into the same old notch with each recurring week.

Not only have the numbers of idle small boys who used to infest every part of the college grounds greatly diminished, but those that have remained seem to have...
...instructor of a certain classical course stated at the beginning of the year that the examinations would be entirely at sight. Shortly before the examination he announced that he had changed his mind, and that the section must be well prepared for examination upon all the past work of the year. Now, clearly, any instructor has a perfect right to examine his section as he pleases, but the adoption of the disingenuous course of action we have described is as unfair to the popularity and good repute, which the instructor we refer to enjoys, as it is to those...
