PUNCTUALITY DESIRED.

Dean Hurlbut, in his intimate talks with undergraduate visitors, seldom fails to remind them that attending college is as much a business as selling wool or building bridges, and that students must be businesslike in keeping their college appointments. That he needs to emphasize the value of such a homely, old-fashioned virtue as punctuality is daily demonstrated.

Yesterday, for example, when Thomas Mott Osborne was lecturing, he was interrupted again and again by late arrivals. Other visiting lecturers have suffered similar discourtesy. As for regular college lectures, many professors have resorted, and fairly too, to the expedient employed with great success by Professor Copeland, of saying "Go away, sir!" to the late comers.
