...evidently ignorant of the etiquette not only of college but of common life, have the habit of leaving the lecture room immediately after the roll call. They thus get the credit of going to a recitation, and still spend the hour as they like. Unhappily they do not seem to realize that in their conduct they are guilty of grave discourtesy to the instructor, - a discourtesy which does not come from gentlemen. Then in addition, a man who follows this method shows a lamentable lack of courage. If he wants to spend his hour away from a lecture...

...next that the scholars of public schools in various parts of the country are demanding longer recesses; and on the next, as a third great blow to education, that the tennis "shacks" want higher wages. What is Harvard coming to? Each hour almost the evils of strikes seem to be closing in more seriously upon her. It is hard to say where the next blow will be. Perhaps the goodies will call for more pay and fewer rooms. But it is to be hoped not. Any such activity among them would be far too abnormal, not to be attended with...
