...wish to call the attention of the authorities to the state of the bowling alleys in the gymnasium. On the upper floor, so many improvements have been made, and the air of neatness and newness is so noticeable, that we feel sure that they will carefully consider the complaint about the lower floor. In the first place, the pins are most of them wretched; they are old, worn, and battered, some so full of splinters as to be unpleasant to touch, and others so uneven as to make it impossible to stand them up. The balls are in insufficient quantity...

Will it be due to your carelessness and indifference that Harvard will have the disgrace of failing in an enterprise which is being carried on with success at other colleges? No, we think not. We feel sure that, now that examinations are over, you will come forward and avert the pending misfortune; but, because the amount necessary to be raised is so ridiculously small, do not, therefore, think that your help is not needed. And yet do not look upon the Co-operative Society as an object...
