Experience during a period of ten years with the elective system, shows that the system does not tend to bring about the extinction of the traditional studies called liberal. The scientific turn of mind is comparatively rare among the young men who enter the college, a large majority of the students preferring languages, metaphysics, history, and political science, to mathematics, physics, zoology, and botany. Every extension of the system has been a gain to the individual student, to the college, and to every interest of education and learning; and the time is not far distant when the few subjects still...
...word or two might well be said now to the men who intend to try for the team next fall. The experience of the past few years has proved to a certainty that the part of the season which can be spared for training is too short to bring a man into anything like perfect condition for playing unless he returned to college in something above the average form.

No better material has been at hand for years, and we have every reason to hope for victory in the race to take place next summer...
...cost of replacing the lamps, if they are replaced, will be at the rate of $16 per lamp, amounting in the aggregate to $272. It is said that the citizens of Princeton are naturally unwilling to bear this expense, and that every effort will be made to bring the offending parties to justice. It is generally very hard to detect students, and, in case these escape, it is a question whether the college will pay for the lamps; it seems to me that it would be eminently short-sighted in them to neglect doing so. Two, who were unfortunately...
