...rowing at Cornell. The day of four-oared rowing is over. Perhaps all are not aware that the old intercollegiate association is finally and permanently broken up. To the recent call for a convention, not a single college responded. Cornell's record in the association has been a brilliant one and she comes out of it in possession of the cup. But however deserving we have been of praise, however plucky and successful our crews have been, we have certainly not received just recognition of it since the palmy days when Yale and Harvard withdrew from the association with...
...concert given by the Yale Glee and Banjo Club at the Hyperion Theatre on the evening preceding the junior promenade, was attended by a brilliant audience. The freshmen were more than active this year in displaying their class numerals, and resorted to very ingenious schemes to get "'91" before the audience. The first number on the programme was by the banjo club, after which they left the stage. At this point placards bearing the number "'91" were hurled from the upper gallery, which was filled with enthusiastic freshmen. Doves were let loose having suspended from their neck cards also having...

Although there is a strict injunction against all tramps and peddlers being allowed inside the college building, nevertheless they will sometimes gain an entrance and generally manage to make the best...
...paid ungrudgingly, especially when a man has worked so hard and faithfully in bringing victory to a class whose enthusiasm, so intense at first, now seems to be ending in a feeble cloud of smoke. Up to the present time, the career of '91 has given promise of a brilliant future, but if its idea of showing appreciation for athletic victories is to repudiate its debts, it need not be surprised to fine a lack of vigor and energy in the work of both nine and crew. Men who can afford to strut about the college yard smoking Turkish cigarettes...
