...rule, like to find fault with our sister papers, but we cannot let the last freak of the Lampoon go unnoticed. That publication has declared its intention of caricaturing members of the University whenever a fitting opportunity presents itself.

Although the provisional list of examinations has appeared to the gratification of all concerned, there are still many fortunate mortals who are anxiously awaiting another list of examinations, familiarly known as the "makeups." It is a most barbaric mode of torture to keep individuals, who through no fault of their own have to take their mid-years this spring, in complete ignorance as to the precise date when they must prepare themselves for the welcome ordeal.
