WITH our term bills has come the usual notice in regard to college rooms. Several new regulations have been made which will probably have the effect of putting an end to the bad practice which has so long existed, of drawing for rooms without intending to use them, and selling them to those who are less fortunate in the allotment. By the old system all except the few who drew rooms were obliged either to pay a large bonus for the privilege of rooming inside the Yard, or else were obliged to room outside.

Class Day, by its name, would seem to point out the impropriety, to say the least...
...Springfield would be incompatible with the Saratoga race, but it must be remembered that Freshman crews require to be handled with the greatest of care. We think it would have been more becoming for the Record to have investigated the matter a little more thoroughly before allowing itself to use such very candid and emphatic language. We have, however, long since ceased to be surprised at any misconstruction the Yale papers may put on our actions, and we can only say that when the leopard has changed his spots, and the Ethiopian his skin, then, and not till then, shall...
