...much less important matter, but one that is deserving of consideration. It surely does not seem unreasonable to ask that the lights in the hallways of the college buildings should not be put out at exactly twelve o'clock. Very often men are detained until after that hour, either by business or pleasure, and it is not agreeable, to say the least, on entering the building at ten minutes after twelve to find it shrouded in Egyptian darkness. One must cautiously feel his way up any number of stairs, grope slowly along the corridor, learning where to turn by putting...

...ruffains have no business whatever to cross the fence which bounds Jarvis on its four sides. The (college) law says so, and if the law were only like those of the Medes and Persians, we should not be continually bothered by these infantile pests. Why cannot something be done, either by the Athletic or the Foot-Ball Association, to put a stop to the nuisance? It seems strange, indeed, that Harvard students cannot assert their rights even in the face of so strong an opposition as that of the almighty and omnipresent Cambridge mucker...
