...what Dr. Sargent had to say was quite true, and the students must lay the lack of sufficient hot water in part to their own foolishness. If those who come first would have a little more regard for those who are to follow, a great deal of unnecessary fault-finding would be obviated...
...passes now, in which more or less fault is not found with the bathing facilities in the gymnasium. There is no doubt that the apparatus is inadequate for the uses of so many men as now regularly exercise during the afternoons, but, as reported in another column, some radical changes will be made during the coming summer.

The paper is not long enough for a thorough ventilation of the subject, and is therefore, rather unsatisfactory...
