THE Corporation has notified the societies in the College buildings that their rooms must be vacated at the end of the present term. This action is caused principally, we believe, by a desire to increase the number of rooms which can be let to students by the College. There can be no doubt that the demand for rooms in the buildings far exceeds the supply, but the plan for satisfying this demand seems to us as poor a one as could well be devised. It is neither just toward the societies nor likely to prove beneficial to the University. Upon the Hasty Pudding Club the decree of the Corporation falls with great severity. They have occupied their present quarters for at least twenty-six years, and when the rooms were given them it was understood that they were to hold them permanently. Two thousand dollars were subscribed by graduates at the time, and this sum was expended on the rooms. Now, after being in possession for over a quarter of a century, the Club is told to " move on," and, with the hand-organ grinders, is banished from the precincts of the Yard.
