...complaint and very much has been said on the subject; but much remains unsaid. This complaint is the abominable state of various walks in the yard. People have urged that constant writing in the college papers does no good and only bores the reader. This is not always so. It sets men to thinking and talking about the subject, and often leads to important results. Several years ago the yard was without any brick sidewalks and all the paths were in a poorer condition.

But, in all seriousness, men ought to be more careful how they break the rules in this respect, for any such violation results in a great deal of annoyance to their neighbors. Because a man is courteous enough to undergo such an affliction without complaint is no reason for continually tormenting him. We write this, then, in the hope that it may put an end to all such disturbances in future by simply calling attention to them...
