An uncommon nuisance, which has been commented on by both instructors and students, is the exceedingly ill-bred habit which many men have of whistling in the entries of Sever Hall during recitation time. Many classes are dismissed before the rest disperse, and men who have other recitations in Sever the next hour wander up and down the sounding corridors, whiling away the time by whistling and talking. This is not only a piece of great ill-breeding, but it is a nuisance to both instructors and students; it is impossible for the former to lecture, or the latter to listen with equanimity with all this noise going on in the entries. Men should remember that the corridors in Sever are very resonant, even when people are walking in them; perhaps this is unavoidable - but loud talking and whistling should be stopped at once and altogether.
