At Harvard as well as at all other institutions of learning, there is a certain class of men who are known rather for their lack of brains than for any positive quality that they possess. The antics of these men are many and varied. Their nature is often displayed in their boisterous actions in the street, in recitation rooms and elsewhere, but at this period of the year, they seem to believe it their special province to do whatever they can to disturb the quiet and calm of the study-room, either forgetful that the examinations are approaching, or fiendishly taking delight in making themselves a nuisance to the unfortunate persons who are compelled to lodge near them. If there is anyone now on the point of ignoring his position as a member of an organism, let him bethink himself of the category in which he will be placed if he gives way to his desire to be noisy, and then restrain himself from perse cuting his neighbors with an intrusion of his personality upon these moments of study and application.
