Drury was founded in 1873, on the principles of co-education. From it we gather the interesting statement that "young gentlemen can take their meals at the Ladies' Boarding Hall at $2.50 a week," and the general regulation that "gentlemen shall not visit the rooms of the lady students, nor ladies the rooms of the gentleman students." Care has been taken that young ladies and gentlemen shall not quarrel, for we read that "scuffling, noisy sports, and disorderly company" (whatever that may be) are at all times strictly prohibited.

SOME one has been trying to write Latin verse at Dartmouth, and our friend the Advocate has quoted some of it; but without comment. For about a week the Dartmouth has probably been half tickled with the republication, half annoyed that there was no pointing out of special beauties. We strongly suspect that in a few days the Darimouth will be thankful the Advocate did not comment, and rather wish it had n't published...
