...investigated the matter carefully, and find that such rumors are entirely groundless. When the rumor was first started the police were, of course, notified. They looked the matter up carefully, and found that there was no foundation for any fears of having small-pox in college, or in Cambridge, either, for that matter. A person should be very careful about circulating such reports, as they not only cause great uneasiness in college, but are copied throughout the country. Very soon we expect to learn from some of our exchanges that "there is a great small-pox panic at Harvard...
...length of silk, with the injunction, 'Take this and be thrifty, and begin the new year with industry.' Contrary to a common belief, this is not the condition of a tenure, nor does any advantage accrue to the institution by its observance. There is nothing particular about the needles either. To be precise, they lock like 7s sharps, and the silk, either of crimson, blue or black, is only such silk as may be purchased anywhere. The use to which the articles are devoted is to wear them with the silk wound in a knot about them, as ornaments...
...conclusions on the freshman Music Hall affair. For, as a matter of fact, the party of men from '85 who attended Mr. Wilde's recent performance did not represent the freshman class, as a class, by any means; and so really the freshman class is quite innocent of either praise or blame in the matter, and, I am sure, is very unwilling to pluck any of their hardearned laurels from the brows of their sixty (or forty) classmates.

And why is it that if a person orders a steak, or some griddle-cakes, they come up either burnt to a crisp, or not half done? It seems to me that either we should have new cooks, or else those in our employ should have a special superintendent appointed over them to see that they serve things decently. I will not complain of the wretchedly poor cooking...
...EDITORS OF THE HERALD: I heartily agree with "Studious" upon the advisability of having carpets on the stairs. As he suggests, rubber cloth will do; we don't need either Axminster or Moquette. But I should like to make a few additional suggestions. I think that a water refrigerator should be placed in each hall-way; it would certainly add greatly to the comfort of the students. And then the chairs at Memorial might be cushioned; "the expense would be very small and the comfort of all would be greatly enhanced." It would certainly be very little trouble, and almost...
