It is exceedingly unpleasant when a man is grinding for examinations or puzzling over the higher electives, to be interrupted by piercing screams or intermittent warblings from unknown parts of the yard. We do not venture to suggest a remedy for this most crying evil, but that it must not go on is too evident...
