...seems to me that the time has come for our Faculty to recognize in the arrangement of vacations that the United States really extends as far west as the Pacific Ocean and that men who live outside the sacred boundaries of New England have as good a right to go home for Christmas as those who live in the city of Boston. We do not ask to have the four days, which would extend our vacation to the customary two weeks, added by simply dropping them out of the term, for no one would object to a corresponding shortening...
...members of the Glee Club and Pierian Sodality only at Sever's Saturday morning, December 4th from 9 to 12 o'clock. After 12 o'clock they can be obtained by the general public.

B brings his books for general reading - sits in his easy chair and studies the whole history intelligently. A says he works hard...
...pointed out by the instructor. The course of general reading would be designed particularly for those who who were unavoidably prevented from using the reference books, and such a course would, at all events, be an extremely useful supplement to the special reading. We think our correspondent is right in maintaining that a large number of hard-working students in History 13 would be benefited by this addition of a general course of reading...
