College Students of 1734
Were Models if Rules Held
Philip Morrill, a senior engineering
student. In delving about into obscure
sources, has resurrected tiie Harvard
University regulations lot the year
1731. Morrill, after reading the fol-
lowing rulea, does not think that col-
lege regulations In these days are too
restrictive of personal llbrety:
"All the scholars shall, at sunset
in the evening preceding the Lord's
Hay, retire to their chambers, and
not unnecessarily leave them: anil all
disorders on said evenings shall be
punished as violations of the Sab-
bath are. And every scholar, ou the
Lord's Day, shall carefully apply him-
self io the Duties of Religion, and
Piety. And whosoever shall profune
said Day by unnecessary business or
visiting, walking on the Common, or
in the streets or fields in the town ot
Cambridge, or by any sort of diversion
before sunset shall be fined 10 shil-
lings.
"i'ndegraduates shall rpeeat at least,
the main heads of the forenoon and
afternoon sermons on tiie Lord's Day
evenings in the Hall and such as are
delinquent shall be punished not ex-
ceeding three shillings."
Mt. Holyoke Seminary promulgat-
ed rules in the same year which he
quote* as follows:
"1, No young lady shall become a
member of Mi Holyoke Seminary wiio
cannot kitldlc a fire, wash potatoes,
repeat, the multiplication table, and
at least two-thirds'of the shorter cat-
echism."

Parker's New Streamlined Shape
Sets Low
in the pocket...
Feels "At Home" in the Hand
Parker's new streamlined Duofold Pens (and
Pencils to match) look neater and set lower in the
pocket than others because the clip starts at the
TOP—not halfway down the cap.
The smart, perfectly poised shape feels "at
home" in the hand—the hand-ground, heavy
gold point writes with our famous 47th improve-
ment — Pressureless Touch.
Like 2 Pens for the Price of One
An exclusive convertible feature makes all
Parker pens actually like 2 Pens in One. When
you buy a pocket Parker you need only a desk
base to convert it to a complete Desk Set. We
include taper, free. If you buy pen and desk set
together, you get a pocket cap with clip free,
making the Desk Pen a Pocket Pen, too.
See this revolutionstry Convertible streamlined
Duofold at any nearby pen counter. The name on
the barrel,"Geo. S. Parker-DUOFOLD,"guar-
antees it for your life.
