...that time, the matter was passed over and forgotten, apparently no effort whatever being made by the proper authorities to put a stop to the nuisance by detecting and punishing the offenders. We are led to refer to the subject again because of a recent and daring case of theft. Last week a student, upon going to dinner at Memorial, hung his overcoat upon one of the hooks at the side of the hall. Imagine his supreme disgust, when looking for his coat after dinner, to find that it had been stolen, almost under his very eyes. Now why should...
...when the two unfortunates were out. Nearly all the clothing was taken away. The following appears in the Yale Record: "All contributions for the Durfee sufferers may be handed to the committee, any articles of clothing will be acceptable." The Record also says, in an editorial on this bold theft. "When a man comes home, and finds everything gone but a paper collar, and a tennis belt he realizes what it is to be a flood-sufferer...

We were obliged to notice an offence of the same nature last year, when the shingle of the St. Paul's society was stolen. But few words need be said on the subject now. We would merely say to the freshmen, for no upper classman would have played such a contemptible trick, that one's reputation for "nerve" is not to be increased by such means, and that if the perpetrator of this outrage becomes known, his college career will not be materially aided...
...alas ! what generous soul is methodical-the ready tendency to lend a book is proof that a man is ready for all risks. Nor will a well-kept list make our borrowers honest. If a man steal your book, you may recover it if you can prove the theft : but what is to be done with him who always-yes, always-is intending to return your precious volume? Your inquiries are met with ready promises of restoration ; he will bring it back, or he cannot just lay his hand upon it, or some one has borrowed it without leave...
