That hardy annual -- the Yale game number of the Lampoon--is with us again, we see. And at an increased cost per copy, too. You can't blame Lampy a bit for that, though. With Yale tickets themselves going from two to two and a-half, it seems as if thirty-five cents is a small jump from a quarter...
Entrance examinations are largely to blame for the small capacity for self-education shown by college men. The entrance requirements are not too hard, but they are too numerous.

It is too easy to shriek accusations at the box score in the Sunday papers, and to criticize over a dinner table. Few men stop to think that it is the undergraduate body as a whole that is responsible for a team; if a better nine cannot be produced it is because the College has not the collective ability to furnish...
