The disturbances in and about the college yard on the nights of May 17th and 19th make it necessary for the faculty to define the limits of permissible demonstrations on occasions of college rejoicing.
They do not object on such occasion to cheering, to music, or illuminations by lanterns, gas, or Bengal lights in the yard, or to fireworks on Jarvis or Holmes field, provided that all demonstrations cease by eleven o'clock P. M. They object to and forbid bonfires, horn-blowing, and noisy or dangerous fireworks.
They request the students to consider whether the safety of the library and other university buildings, the rights of the people of Cambridge, and the desirable privacy of the yard were sufficiently regarded on the nights of the 17th and 19th. They invite the co-operation of all students in enforcing the abbey-mentioned restrictions.
Voted by the faculty, May 22, 1884.
C. J. WHITE, Registrar.
