...possibly prevent some men from going out, it can not account for the general attitude, and its abolition would be no considerable factor toward the success of the team. At other eastern colleges, notably Yale and Brown, similar disapproval has been expressed, but the teams have nevertheless received better support than here...
...wish that the contributors would write in English instead of in dialect. Whether dialect writing is of any philological value may well be questioned; that the reading of dialect is tiresome to a degree is certain. The same amount of labor and skill wasted upon such productions would be better bestowed on efforts to acquire mastery of a true English style and in developing powers of invention. Few are those who can overcome the handicap of dialect and produce a story worthy of the name in the strange forms of tongue so affected by some writers. A weak tale...
...doubts in the least the need of a new gymnasium, as voiced in your recent editorial. But why look to the graduate alone for starting the work?

The features of the meet were the University team's pyramid work and Yale's clever exhibition of tumbling. Both teams showed good form on the horizontal bar. Though Harvard had the better of the side-horse and club swinging events, Yale gave a better performance on the flying rings. The University team, starting with only two men from last year's team as a nucleus, has developed slowly but consistently and is in good condition for the subsequent competitive meets with Columbia...
