Those who played in the foot-ball game last Tuesday, realized after the game that the gymnasium is sadly deficient in the apparatus for drying clothes. There are, to be sure, the steam pipes in the back of the lockers, but every one who has had any experience in the matter knows that clothes in the lockers never dry, no matter how long they remain there.

...this year for carrying on the work was only a few hundred dollars. In the study of physics delicate and accurate instruments are absolutely necessary. Many instruments in the laboratory are in so wretched a condition that although the student may make the most exact calculations, he can feel sure that his results will not be correct. It is not even now too late to make an additional appropriation. The success of our physical studies demands that better opportunities should be afforded the student than he can at present enjoy...
