[The Teacher by Jacob Abbott]@TWC D-Link bookThe Teacher CHAPTER IV 24/95
The faculty do not know what you wish in this respect in regard to the new accommodations which the trustees have now provided for you, and which you are soon to enter.
They have had them fitted up for you handsomely, and if you wish to have them kept in good order, we will assist you.
If the students think proper to express by a vote, or in any other way, their wish to keep them in good order, we will engage to have such incidental injuries as may from time to time occur immediately repaired.
Such injuries will, of course, be done; for, whatever may be the wish and general opinion of the whole, it is not to be expected that every individual in so large a community will be careful.
If, however, as a body, you wish to have the building preserved in its present state, and will, as a body, take the necessary precautions, we will do our part." [Illustration] The students responded to this appeal most heartily.
