...library, it is pleasant, to say the least, to learn that any improvement has even been thought of by the authorities. The suggestion of providing suitable accommodations for those students who are not resident at the university is a valuable one. Such provision for "day students," would, in effect, be equivalent to founding a system of small scholarships; since many men of small means, who live in town within easy travelling distance would be enabled, while living with their families and thus avoiding the expense incident to a university residence, to avail themselves fully of our educational advantages...
These plans are very attractive, and would effect a great improvement upon the present condition of things; but it would be a better plan to convert the old Gore Hall into a fireproof bookstack, and to build a new reading-room on the north side, and so attached that no reasonable objection could be taken to lighting the room. Such a reading-room ought to have seats for at least 250 persons, and should be provided with coat-rooms and dressing-rooms, that students who have no rooms in Cambridge might find themselves comfortably provided for at the reading-room...
...lived and respectable, like cricket, tennis, fencing, shooting at a mark, rowing, sailing, hunting, jumping, and racing on foot, horseback, or bicycle, involve any bodily collision between contestants.

The keenness of the competition creates a high standard of excellence, and persons who know that they cannot reach that standard cease to play. The athletic sports...

Berlioz's admirable adaptation of Weber's rather commonplace Invitation to the Dance, formed the lighter part of the programme. As ever, the delusive close brought out the usual premature applause, and the effect of the last few bars was spoiled. The Mozart "Jupiter" Symphony, which formed the principal part of the programme, met with a very unenthusiastic reception from the audience. In fact, in this direction Mr. Gericke does not seem to have at all accurately measured the wants and tastes of Cambridge audiences...
...columns this morning for the simple reason that the faculty declined, point blank, to give the slightest information relative to their action. Though four different members of the faculty were interviewed by representatives of the CRIMSON, yet, in each instance, the only information elicited was to the effect that they had, as yet, nothing to say about the newly adopted regulations. Just why this mysterious state of affairs should exist, it is difficult to understand, inasmuch as the decision of the faculty meeting is final, and therefore bound to become public in a short time...
