...annual dinner of the editors of the Crimson took place last Wednesday evening at Young's Hotel. About thirty gentlemen were present. Among the guests were the captains of the Crew, the Nine, and the president of the Athletic Association...

Therefore we can consistently ask if the College acts wisely in not protecting the Memorial Hall windows by a wire screen of some sort? As they now stand, a stone from the hand of a "Port Mucker," or from that of an inebriated Freshman, might cause several hundred dollars' damage, and put the University...
