The "mucker" nuisance has made itself felt early in the term. The blessing of such popular newspapers as the Boston morning dailies must be appreciated by every one; but it is most unfortunate that this blessing is accompanied by that great evil, the silver-tongued Cambridge "mucker." Is there no way in which these vendors may be prevented from crying their wares in the college yard, at least on the steps of the chapel. It has been said that there is none, but if there was a general understanding that papers should not be brought within a stone's throw of the chapel, it might do something in keeping these young business men on the thoroughfares of this town, instead of allowing them to disport themselves on the green in the college yard. Whoever wishes to see a stop put to this traffic and its accompanying evils, let him buy his newspapers on the street and purchase nothing from the boys in the yard.
