...would seem as though the superintendent of buildings, or whoever may be responsible, might have the ground around the Jefferson Physical Labratory cleared up somewhat before any more games or sports take place. As the outside of this building is entirely finished, we fail to see the need of keeping the piles of boards, sand and other debris which now form such pleasing surroundings for the new building. The north side of the building, towards the new track, especially needs some improvement. As the visitors to the ball games are obliged to pass by and over part of this disorder...
...large lakes, a sailing canoe of the Nautilus or Rob Roy types, a good sea-boat and one easy to manage, will not aurally be selected. These canoes are somewhat heavy and are not easy to transport on land as it is not supposed that there will be much need of that kind of work.

We have frequently heard complaints that some men come into the library and wander about in an aimless way, going from one alcove to another, taking down book after book, or listlessly turning over the volumes which lie upon the tables. Much of this seemingly need-less labor is, perhaps, necessary, but can undoubtedly be accomplished in a more quiet manner and with less annoyance to the other inmates of the library. Such complaints, although probably exaggerated, have more or less foundation, for it is certainly unpleasant to be interrupted in one's study by the carelessness...
