...evening late, and most Seniors refrain from 8 o'clock recitations, and have therefore no need and no inclination to be awakened at 7. Moreover, in exceptional cases, alarm-clocks are used, and prove quite efficient. This custom, then, which served a purpose a few generations ago, and which has, in modern times, out-grown its usefulness and become inconsistent with the liberties accorded in other ways to the members of the University, is entirely out of place, and should, for the comfort of the community, be abolished. SENIOR...
...touchdown. The playing was very loose and crude for this time of the year, and the first team was unable to gain through the second as it should. There was a great falling off in forward passing. This play was worked with considerable success a couple of weeks ago, but yesterday three of Burr's long passes hit the ground without being caught.

Punts were exchanged frequently on account of the inability of both teams to gain their distance, and Burr had but slight advantage...

C. Hall, D.D., h.'97, who gave a series of lectures in February, 1906, on "The Attitude of Christ toward Foreign Races and Religions...
...been more than adequate, it seems rather an unnecessary limitation. If seats at previous Yale games had been open to public sale we should more readily concur with the action of the Corporation, but since over 3,000 graduate applications could not be filled for the game two years ago in the Stadium, the hardship will probably fall, not on the public, but upon graduates who are most anxious to see the game. These graduates who are unable to secure seats will, no doubt, appreciate the care which is taken for their safety, and if they do not complain...
