...forbidden to have any unauthorized books or papers in an examination-room." This is a very sensible announcement, surely, in view of the widespread interest which has of late been aroused upon this subject. If any student seeks a flaming sword to hold him in the path of right, here it is, two-edged at that. While some disciples (or leaders?) of reform are for abolishing that servile committee of surveillance, the proctors, and while, moreover, this reform has already been tried with success in some of the higher courses, perhaps a too hasty change would be inadvisable...
...meaning friends in thinking that "those Harvard boys are the worst lot this side of Yale." But suffice to say, we do not agree to this verdict. We are not a "bad lot." There are as noble young men among Harvard students as ever despised cant and followed the right. Why then is this unfavorable opinion? It is simply because the rank grass has overtopped good, the tares grown over the wheat. Judged by such a standard as this verdict would necessitate, we would all be athletes, dudes, and writers of sentimental pessimistic verse. This, of course, is absurd...
This condition of the floor, I understand, is to remain until the next Assembly, February S, - nearly a month.

...lamps equal to the present number of naptha "dips," would be enough better to make up for the additional expense. Further more, the odors coming from the naptha lamps are anything but pleasant, and if a man happens to pass under one of these objects at the right moment he stands a good chance of receiving a sprinkling of naptha sufficient to perfume his hat and clothing for some time. It would seem as though our college would be too proud to use naptha lamps any way, for a little reflection will convince anyone that the town or corporation that...
...Conference Committee, in spite of fears felt by many students, has demonstrated its right of existence. The improvement in the general character of yesterday's meeting over that of the last, is deserving of attention. The rules proposed by the senior members, can but aid in giving direction to discussion, and in preventing useless meetings. The resolutions adopted also show positive signs of life. These resolutions will go before the faculty, and will serve to bring an evil to their notice, in a manner in which it has never before been presented, from the side of student conviction. The marking...
