...Senior Class not to place a window in Alumni Hall has the support, we think, of all the Undergraduates who have really considered the matter. At first the idea may have seemed a good one, but a sober second thought is enough to show the mistake of the plan and the close analogy' with the case of him who had his own tombstone cut, for fear he should not have one sufficiently expensive.

You are now familiar with the plan of the studies pursued in the colleges and lyceums.
