...should ever be the case, the hostile state of affairs that would arise between the two colleges can better be imagined than described. The race was rowed under no rules, because no complete set of rules could be agreed upon. I think that the correspondent of the Crimson would admit that this was an undesirable state of affairs. It is this state of affairs, with its possible contingencies, that the University Boat Club and its advisers are now straining every nerve to avoid, and purpose to avoid by settling the conditions of the race before accepting Yale's challenge...
...college was more trusted and respected than Mr. S., and those who know him know that he would not be guilty of a dishonest act such as the faculty have practically convicted him of. To obey the requirements of the sentence inflicted upon him is tacitly to admit his guilt. He has shown his manhood by refusing to submit, preferring to sever his connection with the college.

I trust that a little of that sense of right which is, presumably, directed against a rival eleven, will...
...societies themselves somewhat to blame for their small audiences? To fix the price of admission to their own concerts is undoubtedly their own business, but if the price is fixed too high for the general public can they complain if their audiences are small. It should be frankly admitted, I think, that there are many men who cannot afford the price asked to admit to a Glee Club concert. If the societies make a larger profit from high-priced tickets and small audiences than they would from low prices and large audiences, their course is very reasonable. But why cannot...
