...method with Yale leads us to ask why the same plan should not be adopted with Columbia. Surely, in view of our experience with her last year, such a thing would not be out of place. In this way we should avoid a repetition of difficulties, the blame of which can be fastened satisfactorily upon no one. As a rule, we think that every athletic contest, especially an inter-collegiate contest, should be governed by a set of definite written rules. In this way no college will be enabled by mere technicality to claim a superiority which is ridiculous...
...well filled by the audience who came to hear Mr. Ed. Channing lecture on the "Fitz-John Porter Case," last evening. The lecturer began by saying that Pope's campaign was a failure, chiefly owing to his own incompetence.

Their complaint perhaps is just and the unwillingness of many to attend is undoubtedly to be severely censured. But are not these two societies themselves somewhat to blame for their small audiences? To fix the price of admission to their own concerts is undoubtedly their own business, but if the price is fixed too high for the general public can they complain if their audiences are small. It should be frankly admitted, I think, that there are many...
