...them when they got to Wellesley. The college was reached shortly after seven o'clock and the men were conducted to a lower floor of the building where they were served with coffee and cake. They eyed the coffee a while and then drank it because it was hot and they were cold. It was rumored that the cake was made by the fair collegians and so the men ate it out of courtesy. Some of them were missing Tuesday. They were probably whiling away the lonely hours in the seclusion of their rooms, debating whether life is worth living...
...gymnasium is totally inadequate for the large number of students who desire to use it. The room is too small in the first place; in the second there is always good reason to doubt the ability of the faucets to produce anything but ice-cold or boiling hot water, and frequently one of these is taken from us. It is really a great shame that the condition of affairs in the bathing-room is so bad. If anyone who has any influence which could remedy this trouble chances to see this request we call upon his benevolence to do something...
...gymnasium. The present system is distressingly inadequate and ill-managed. It is small encouragement to a man practicing on any of the teams to know that after five o'clock he will find the walls of the bath-room lined four deep with shivering mortals and the hot water all gone. If the college can not afford to enlarge the bath-room-which by all means ought to be done-it should at least put in larger pipes and more faucets, and, by more boilers or some other arrangement, manage to keep warm water on hand from five...

The vegetables which are left should be kept hot on chafing dishes in the same way that the meats are now, instead of being put on the tables to grow cold as is the custom at present. This last affair should be attended to immediately as there is no excuse for allowing good food to be wasted since nobody eats...
...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. Every day it takes ten or fifteen minutes to regulate the temperature of the water so as to make it bearable, either the hot water will flow and the cold will not or vice versa. In meantime the bath-room is becoming packed with a crowd...
