In another column will be found a notice from Mr. C. E. Hamlin, secretary of the Pierian Sodality, calling attention to the kleptomaniacal tendencies of some persons as shown in their constant removal of society shingles that are placed on University. We say "kleptomaniacal," because we wish to be mild in our epithets, but we assure you that is not what we think about the matter. It is almost impossible to imagine more contemptible conduct than this removal of shingles. They can be of no possible gain to the men who take them, while serious inconvenience must result to the losers. We are sure that if a man feels that he must have the shingle of a society (to which he probably does not belong) we are sure, we say, that if he makes application to the society they will have him a shingle printed, and even have it put in a nice gilt frame, with perhaps even a plush mat; but such childish and mean actions, if persisted in, will certainly result in serious discomfort to the guilty one if, as will surely happen sometime, he is ever detected.
