Thanksgiving day is now so near at hand that the complications which have arisen with regard to the Harvard Yale foot-ball game on that date should be settled at once. If nothing is done in the matter, the blame cannot rest on Harvard's shoulders. The Harvard team are exceedingly anxious to meet Yale, and the manager of our eleven has agreed to submit the matter to arbitration, or to bring it up before the foot-ball convention and to abide by its decision. As it is now out of the question to play in New York, the college...
...contagious. Common courtesy both to the instructor and student demands promptness at all recitations, and if a man cannot be fairly promp, let him stay away.

If we expect to win on the athletic field, we must work together, the college with...
...invitation" addressed to freshmen by certain of the sophomores, demanding entertainment for their superior lordships, is a proceeding which, the freshman may believe, the better sentiment of the college utterly despises, and we shall heartily congratulate those who have received such "invitation" if they refuse to notice them. The blame for the survival of a remnant of former customs must lie with a minority of the sophomores, but the weakness of those who respond deserves some censure. Our words may have no effect in keeping a semblance of order, but we think we have shown the matter in its true...
