...only did this happen, but members of our nine were singled out for insulting remarks either shouted out by individuals or in chorus. That this was not altogether done by freshmen is the greater pity. Indeed, the whole performance was so scandalous that our delegation seriously intended to remain away from the dinner which had been prepared for them. Yale has always rather gloried in this sort of thing, but she received so much censure on account of the methods she employed to win her Dartmouth games two years ago, and the freshman game the same year, that we hoped...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON. - I would like through your columns to call the attention of the superintendent of buildings to a small matter, but a very harassing one to men in the vicinity who are worn out by their grinding for the examinations. I refer to the workmen picking away at the brick work of Holden Chapel. The west fronts of Stoughton and Hollis are exposed to this continuous sound, beside which lawn mowers and mucker choruses are music. Cannot this work be postponed a few weeks, until men have left college? The building would be none the worse...
...Chainey was incompetent. Cook, however, returned to Philadelphia, where he remained three weeks, when he received a letter from Captain Cowles, which stated that things were going from bad to worse under Chainey's coaching; that the men were demoralized and discouraged, and that unless something was done right away, the exhibition of Yale's oarsmanship at New London would be a disgraceful one. He came on to New Haven and found that all the criticism that had been made upon the demoralized condition of the crew was true, and that Chainey was thoroughly incompetent. He advised, therefore, his discharge...
...drawbacks to such a plan would be the possible danger of the view of some of the high flies being cut off by the awning, and the certain danger of the posts supporting the awning interfering with the view of some few people. This first possibility could be done away with, by placing the canvas pretty well up in the air; and the second could be neutralized by putting the posts pretty far apart, and also by judiciously setting them where they would offer the least inconvenience, and that to the smallest number. Even if a few people were bothered...
...personal amusement now. I must confess that the weak point of the Harvard character seems to me to be a lack of moral courage in the deeper affairs of life. An individual who comes here full of it, finds himself in a non-conducting medium. His vibrations die away like the sound of a bell in an air pump. I have heard the older men who succeeded in mitigating the uproar of the freshmen after the late boat races sneered at as officious. If there were 700 or 800 like them in college we should not hear much about officiousness...
