...Monday, but will feel forced to come back early if this meeting is to be held. Those who remain would doubtless prefer to have a little more time between the digesting of their Thanks-giving repast, and the thoughtful consideration of so weighty a subject. For these reasons we think that a request should be made to the committee on Athletics to postpone the hearing for a few days at least...
...students, and the danger of attending services held in a cold chapel, we deny the moral right of the authorities of a college to whip men into chapel when they are unwilling to attend.

The story goes on to say that Cambridge residents for some reason or other, sent in a petition to have the student guard...
...right direction in regard to lighting the entries of the college buildings during the evening. From time to time, the college papers have shown the advisability of having the gas left burning all night in the entries of the dormitories, but until the present time their complaints, and we think them just, have been disregarded. Now, however, the authorities have acceded partially to our request, and the lights are not turned off until after midnight. Although we have not gained all we hoped for, we are at least thankful for the present improvement...
