...accommodations for himself and the subordinate clerks who aid him in the extensive and elaborate book-keeping, which is an essential part of his work. The case is similar, though perhaps not so bad, with the offices of the Dean and the Secretary. In all, the need of more space and more thorough equipment is so great as to be almost imperative...

In all the dormitories large notices are placed describing at length where the fire apparatus is stored, and at the very end of a confusing list of ladders, axes, etc., there is a notice telling where the fire boxes are and where the keys may be found...
