...customary, and if not, that it ought to be. This inconvenience surely merits the attention of the Faculty, and we would suggest that a telephone would give great facility of communication between the various museums and University.

Thus it is that we regret the action of the base-ball managers, this year, in consenting to play with another college nine, some of whose men are professionals. It establishes a precedent which, if followed...
