Although the conduct of Harvard men in recitation rooms is proverbial for decorum, yet we regret to say that there are some little matters which ought to be of more concern to the students. Notably among the disturbances is the habit which some freshmen have of reading the morning papers in the lectures in English. A practice of this kind, insuiting as it is to the instructor, cannot be too strongly condemned.

Many of his acts have bordered slightly on the tyrannical with no rules to support them. It is true that in past years, and even at present, perhaps, some of the students have irritated the bursar by their strenuous efforts to acquire rooms despite his efforts to the contrary. Notwithstanding this, the innocent should not be made to pay the penalty due the guilty. At least there should...
