By the time they are Seniors they expect to have turned the laboratory into a brewery. Oh happy days ! It is then that the trustees will have to bother their poor heads about erecting a building to accommodate the numberless P. G.’s. Why is there no telephone at school? Such a device would perhaps amuse the children during recess. If they keep on sending us such small sizes in Freshmen, a nursery
