Going back to the "Domi" article, this is perhap sthe only firsthand description we have of the origina lLawrence house and barn when acquired by BostonCollege . We should note the mild weather thatgreeted the lads on December 31, 1907, enablin gthem to play baseball in the afternoon. While thoseof us who have lived through some "winterwonderland" seasons at the Heights might take exception to the comment about "this bleak anddesolate season of the year," we can certainly agre ewith the author's anticipation of the "vernal vigo rand beauty" of spring . The students of 1908 werehardly bashful . The Stylus staff had already (in thei rown minds) preempted as their editorial offices thegate lodge that stood by the Beacon Street entrance .That lodge, later called Hancock House, has recent -ly given way to an extension on Campion Hall . Nostudent activity was ever located in the lodge .Had Rollin Hartt seen a copy of the January 190 8Stylus he would have been confirmed in his judgment that Boston College students were just like"any college crowd almost anywhere.
