A PECULIAR PRACTICE.

At the risk of seeming trivial we desire to call attention to a peculiar manner in which certain ambitious students are endeavoring to secure a generous return on their investment for membership in the Union. These thrifty individuals are consuming vast quantities of writing paper stamped with the Union crest, in writing theses and taking notes. Possibly these offenders are acting through ignorance, but we are quite sure that their own note paper would never be used for such a purpose. Is the slight saving in stationers' bills sufficient compensation for the loss of self-respect which can but accompany such a petty breach of good taste?
