...freshman. The president of the college acts as president of the senate and has the power to veto all its decisions. The question of the college remaining a member of the Inter-collegiate League was laid before the senate on Friday last. The senate decided almost unanimously to allow the college team to enter the intercollegiate contest. President Seelve is satisfied with the way things have gone thus far, and expects to have no further trouble in regard to discipline. The students are well pleased with this innovation...
...consolidation of the Herald and Crimson will aid the literary interests of the college in more than one way. The very fact that the number of papers published in the college is reduced to three will benefit them all financially, while it will remove all clashing of interests and allow to each paper its own separate field.

D. in France where the degree is a degree taken in course, but as this degree is only an honorary title in this country; he never used it, fearing that it might be misinterpreted. In the death...
...report of games. I have asked the faculty to devise effective measures to avert these excesses. A committee has prepared a careful report on the subject. I trust we will be sustained in our efforts by parents and by the public press. In Princeton no student is allowed to contend in any public game without the written permission of his parent or guardian. But there are parents who weakly give their consent to the importunities of their sons, and then complain that we have trained them in idleness. The public press, as a whole, are telling the colleges very plainly...
