Although the conduct of Harvard men in recitation rooms is proverbial for decorum, yet we regret to say that there are some little matters which ought to be of more concern to the students. Notably among the disturbances is the habit which some freshmen have of reading the morning papers in the lectures in English. A practice of this kind, insuiting as it is to the instructor, cannot be too strongly condemned. The applauding which is so frequently indulged in the Chemistry lectures has been spoken of before by the CRIMSON; but another reminder on the morning of the lecture we do not consider out of place. The lectures which are held in Massachusetts are given to such a large number of students that everyone ought to be extremely careful of the noise that he, personally, is making. To a man in Political Economy IV who sits in one of the further corners of the room, it seems as if during the whole lecture, every student in the room considered it necessary that he should move his feet at least twenty times. There are nearly two hundred men in the course, and a little computation will show that this movement occasions no little confusion. Let all the members of Political Economy IV, therefore, be very studious to plant their feet once for all, that the students in the corners of the room may catch at least a portion of the lecture.
