...should at once be done to bar out all such interlopers. The propriety of allowing any visitors during meal-time is questionable; and persons unaccompanied by students should at all hazards be rigidly excluded. The Board of Directors have it in their power to take immediate steps toward remedying present evil; and that the majority of the Association are in favor of a very radical change, we thoroughly believe. Let us be spared the sight in our beautiful dining-hall of those to whom society almost denies its gutters...
...John E. Scoville, of Sweet's Corners, Massachusetts," whose offer to run 100 yards in 10 sec. or better; or 220 yards in 23 sec. or better, for a $25.00 cup, he to present the donor of the cup with $25.00 in event of his failure to accomplish the feat, excited so much interest about a month ago, has turned out to be a "myth."

Of course the evil is not wholly avoided even by the present precautions: those who stop exercise at 5.30 can still ruin their digestions, if they will, by hurrying off at once to their dinner. But the rule is effectual in many cases at least, and helps to enjoin upon us a proper system of healthful living...
...instructors who use the Gymnasium, but one or two take their meals at Memorial; the rest have no need to hasten to their dinner. That the present rule was made with especial reference to the dinner hour at Memorial, and not for the accommodation of these instructors, is conclusively proved by the promptness with which the time for exercise was extended to six o'clock, when the dinner hour was changed to six; and by the fact that the instructors did not apply for permission to exercise after 5.30 until that hour had already been decided upon as the time...
