...this country, may be true enough, but like the best of everything, there is plenty of room for improvement. Harvard is not a whit behind the age in this respect. The shower-baths, which are of greater necessity and utility than any other thing connected with the gymnasium, are either very badly managed or else there is a flaw in the construction of the pipes bringing in the hot and cold water supply.

The freshmen are assigned seats in the body of the chapel, under the back gallery; the seniors sit in front of them, and the sophomores and juniors on either side. Sometimes a freshman is sent up front by some fun-loving upper-class man, but he is soon ejected. It is an old custom at Yale for the seniors to rise in their seats and salute the president as he passes down the aisle, at the close of chapel; but the freshmen are expected...
