The disturbances which have characterized the lectures in one of the large Sophomore courses during the last few weeks recall to some of us our school days, when any childish amusement was preferable to paying attention to the teacher. Apparently there are still many "college men" who are strongly addicted to the puerile habit of stamping. As a means of expressing approval or disapproval of what a lecturer says, the use of a pair of large and hardy feet (organs indispensable in many emergencies) is absurd. Men of impulsive natures with frequent and acute temptations to stamp in lectures, should practice self-restraint. If they must give vent to their feelings let them lock themselves in their rooms after the lecture is over, and calling to mind all the humorous incidents of the hour, stamp to their hearts' content. This will not annoy the lecturer nor the grown-up members of the course, and will afford equally good exercise for the pedal extremities.
