Far be it from us to attempt to discourage any festivities after a wellearned victory over a formidable rival. Indeed, we heartily indorse enthusiasm in such matters, but it seems unfortunate that any men should have built a bon-fire upon the grass in the yard. There are many places about the grounds where a fire can do no harm. Why then should not men have a trifle more pride about appearances? The building of a fire upon the lawns kills all the grass immediately underneath it and scorches much more for many yards around, so that the evil effects can be seen for months. If proper pride for appearances does not move the student, then a slight regard for college property ought to make him more careful. Let us enjoy our victories, but let us at the same time observe the rights of private property.
