...behavior of some of the students at the Post-Office on Sundays has lately given rise to considerable annoyance; not patient enough to take their place in line and ask in their turn for their letters, they must needs elbow their way up to the front and get some friend to ask for them. The line is thus often kept motionless for two or three minutes, while one man is asking for the host of friends standing around. The matter seems scarcely worth calling attention to, since it is presumably the result of thoughtlessness, and not of a determination...
...meetings. Yesterday evening a meeting was held, at which a collection of pottery and old china was exhibited, besides a number of valuable books on art, illustrated by fine engravings, the loan of Professor Norton. Periodical meetings of the same kind are to be regularly held.

He says that the best rooms in Tufts are seventy-five dollars; but who would not give more for a bad room...
...response to this offer when first made was so feeble (seven only complying with it) that it was not thought advisable to carry out the plan. But should a sufficient number apply to make this worth while, there would be opened to the students who take the Fine Arts Electives some advantages that ought not to be rejected...
