...wish to call attention to an abuse which may seem trifling, but which nevertheless causes infinite annoyance. We refer to the practice of shuffling feet, slamming note books, coughing, and making other disagreeable noises which has lately been so freely indulged in towards the close of recitations. The hour is not over till the bell rings. The last few minutes of the hour sometimes contain the pith of the lecture. It is not only boyish, but inconsiderate and ill-bred to prevent men who have gone to the lecture for the purpose of hearing it from profiting by those last...
...coming week all the candidates will be formed into one large squad which will take light exercise in the gymnasium every day, and a short run. At the end of the week a second squad will be picked from the first, and will include those men who seem to take the greatest interest and do the hardest work.

When Mr. Sumner returned to America he gave the wig to the Law school and at the time asked Judge Storey to have it put in a case and preserved. But for some reason this care does not seem to have been taken. It was then kept for many years in the old Law school building (now the store of the Co-operative Society) but at length its associations seem to have been entirely forgotten. Mr. George S. Hale says he once found it here and used it at some private theatricals in Boston but was ignorant that...
