...persecution of St. Dunstan. He was constantly visitting the saint's blacksmith shop to make sinful suggestions and disturb the holy man's pious meditations. But one day, as the Devil poked his head in at the window, the doughty saint caught his diabolical nose in red hot pincers, and the Devil fled howling, to trouble the saint no more...
...support. With a thousand under-graduates, and only three college publications, all occupying different spheres of usefulness, there ought not to be any question of the ability of Harvard to support all of them. Yet such is the indifference of many men that our papers are constantly getting into hot water because their subscription lists are so meager.

One of the two extremes almost always exists, either the rooms are very much too hot or they are very much too cold. During the present season the former has perhaps been more prevalent than the latter, the rooms more often too warm than too cold. Why can't we have the good old "happy medium," or at least some attempts to attain it? Nothing wars so powerfully against the gaining of knowledge as an unpleasant atmosphere. To be sure some argue for the best...
