...Record has assumed a highly moral tone in some remarks upon ticket speculations. There has been at New Haven an entertainment of some sort, called a Junior Promenade. To this entertainment etiquette forbids Freshmen to go; but, at the same time, respect for upper-class men, and possibly a little intimidation, induce them to buy tickets in large quantities. These tickets are to them like the traditional elephant, and they are only too glad to dispose of them at half price to economical Seniors. Of this proceeding the Record disapproves. It does not object to the selling of tickets...
...attention of all Freshmen who know German is called to the existence of a society, Der Verein, for the purpose of keeping up the knowledge of the language, and also affording opportunity for pleasant intercourse with upper-class men. All who wish to join will send their names and address to 391 Harvard St. or 19 Holworthy...
...mortifying fact, but one whose truth can hardly be questioned, that, as a rule, college students have remarkably poor memories. Let any upper-class man try to recall some of the studies of his preparatory course, or even of his Freshman year, which have not been brought into requisition by his subsequent work; let him question a majority of his classmates on the same points, and any doubts he may have as to forget-fulness among students will, I think, be removed. The fact is brought before us in a peculiarly vivid manner, with which we are all more...
...relative places of A and B with the greatest regularity. Levison I' Evy succeeds to the same seat at the same "swell" table which Montairon Von Aaron, the now popular Sophomore, occupied last year; smiles as sweetly, shakes as many hands, pays the same delicate attention to influential upper-class men, and, in general, follows the lead of his successful predecessor. No sooner has Tobias Nightoil become possessed of the threadbare carpet and scanty furniture whilom the property of Bartholomew Bat, than the mantle of that man of marks descends upon him; he secludes himself in his room, sometimes...
...should this mode of transfer be prevented? As the system works at present, a Freshman may, by good fortune, secure for himself a pleasant room for the whole college course; while, on the other hand, an upper-class man, not so fortunate in past years, may still be forced to content himself with a cold, damp room, and bear, as best he may, his sore throats and chills. Would not the distribution of rooms be made more equable than it now is, if classes should have their choices in the order of seniority? That is, let Juniors have the first...
