HIGH COURT <*4 IMre has been talk on the cam- pos for some time, of the need of ■Mm discipline. This talk culmi nated in the High Court which was called last Friday night by the chair- man of the committee on hazing. This court as conducted; ended in arfMable failure and left an un pleasant savor in the minds of every one, especially the new men.

Loud talking and noise in the dormitories during the time when most of the fellows are studying should be" prohibited.
