COMPLAINTS have come to us concerning the action of the Bursar in regard to the transfer of rooms. The old transfer is a thing of the past, and it has been said that if one man wants to give up a room which another is anxious to get, it is impossible for the thing to be done. He who first drew the room, it is said, must hold it, no matter how many homeless wretches may long to rest their limbs within. We have examined the matter and find that the case is not quite as bad as this...
...last three weeks complaints have been made about the management, or rather mismanagement, of the bath-rooms in Matthews basement. It seems that these bath-rooms are under the control of one man, who pays nothing to the College for the right of using them and is in no way responsible for the manner in which they are kept.

...evidence of ability to write very good poetry, but we have not yet found one who possessed both the means and the disposing frame of mind to encourage the rising lights in the poetic firmament.

When we have said this we have said all that is becoming of us, considering our relative positions...
...have received a protest against the proposed discontinuance of the study of Political Economy in the Sophomore year, announced in the last number of the Crimson. Our contributor argues soundly that nothing is of more importance for a man in this country than an elementary knowledge of economic science. The study of the prescribed course for the past few years has been little more than a hasty grind for an examination, and we suppose that to be the reason which has induced the Faculty to discontinue the study. But, however hasty the reading of the text-books has been, certain...
