HARVARD indifference has been harped upon till every one is weary of the sound, nevertheless it is necessary to bring it up for discussion once more. The phase of the complaint which has been developed during the past year is an inclination to growl at the defeats of the Nine, coupled with a refusal to be present at the games, even if played in Cambridge. But there is a step even lower than this; the work of preparation for the annual examinations may render it impossible to attend base-ball games, but no such plea can be urged...
...MUCH complaint has been made recently because no rooms in Hollis or Stoughton are on the list to be drawn for. Had inquiry first been made at the Bursar's office, it would have been found that there was no cause for complaint. Only five rooms in Hollis and Stoughton together were given up, and as this is not more than a twelfth of the whole number, the Bursar was compelled, in justice to sub-freshmen, to reserve these rooms for them. Men in college seem to forget that they were ever sub-freshmen...
...Library, on the whole, is conducted so much for our advantage that a complaint on the subject may seem hypercritical. Nevertheless there is one great annoyance which could be easily removed.

Now, if visitors were excluded, this disturbance would be greatly lessened. There is nothing remarkable to be seen in the reading-room, and any survey which is necessary can be obtained through the glass doors...
...authority of a statement that appeared in our last issue has been questioned. In the article entitled "The Physical Examinations" we denied that there was a prevalence of heart complaint in College, and stated that of two hundred and fifty men only two were afflicted with that disease. Our information was obtained from Dr. Sargent, and upon further inquiry we are fully sustained by him in our position. We reiterate the statement that coffee-drinking and cigarette-smoking have not caused a prevalence of heart complaint among Harvard undergraduates...
...poor Editor! The Literary man was enraged because his article had been tampered with; the Athlete swore that his report was the only interesting thing in the paper; the Poet took arsenic because his choicest stanza had been left out; the Bummer looked in vain for his complaint about the janitors, and declared that the Editor was fawning on the Faculty; the Professor was disgusted with the complaints, and publicly reviled the paper at all his recitations; the Wit found that all the point of his article had been left out, and that his brevity jokes had been spoiled...
