We have strong doubts whether he does so by permission of the Faculty; as even the respectable Advocate's request to be allowed its use was refused. But Mr. King is not the only offender, for an enterprising restaurateur in town has sent invitations to all the undergraduates, which read somewhat in this fashion : "Christo et Ecclesiae. Serve Mr. -, and give him a discount of fifteen per cent."
