" Smoking Prohibited " in the Students' Room at the M.H. Why is this thusness
Why should not the cards giving notice of operations be posted up on Wednesday instead of late on Thursday morning as they frequently are at present ? One could make one-self familiar with the details of the operations if some notice.were given.
Why is there no new time-table of lectures published at the 'varsity for us ? Arts, science, law, &c., have fresh ones, while the only one publicly displayed in the medical school is one for 1890, with pencil corrections on it, and still incorrect.
