Several complaints of thieving at the gymnasium have recently been made, which prompt us to give a general caution. It is a humiliating fact, that, among a body of two thousand students, there are almost sure to be a few without principles of honesty. This year three overcoats with money and valuables have been lost, and numerous towels have mysteriously disappeared. The gymnasium authorities are unable to prevent this while men leave their property scattered around so carelessly as at present. The men using the lockers must understand that they do so at their own risk and so must be cautions about leaving their valuables in them. As for the line of hooks in the main halls and bath rooms, which are generally filled with overcoats and hats, it seems that more efficient watch might be kept by the authorities to prevent pilfering. Some system of checking, similar to that at the library, might be devised, which would be a very good safe-guard. However, as long as the present system holds, all the students can do is to exercise care, not leaving valuables in their coat pockets or in the lockers and to be sure to keep the latter securely locked.
