...small copy of Carpatio's celebrated Saint Ursula, showing the head and bust of the reclining saint, into which Mr. Moore has put all the perfections and imperfections of the original; another represents the group of Apostles that occupies the lower part of Titian's "Annunciation of the Virgin"; and the third is taken from Tintoretto...
...some of the undergraduates may not be familiar with Class Day traditions and etiquette, we wish to say that it is usual for the members of the lower classes to give up without demur their rooms to Seniors who may wish to spread in them.

The need of light is felt especially in the lower halls of Matthews and Holyoke, and a serious accident which occurred in the latter building one evening last week shows that our complaint is not an idle one. To have a front tooth knocked out by running against a projection in a dark hall is a mishap that we hope...
