...rule, like to find fault with our sister papers, but we cannot let the last freak of the Lampoon go unnoticed. That publication has declared its intention of caricaturing members of the University whenever a fitting opportunity presents itself. Now that kind of thing was tried when the Lampoon was first started, and the consequences were disastrous. College opinion objected, and with justice, to this degraded form of wit; and we beg to warn the Lampoon that it is more than probable that college opinion will object again. There is plenty of wit and versatility in a big university like...
...with professionals. If the question is to be decided at all, it is much better that it should be decided at once. We have faith enough in the members of the faculty to know that they are unwilling to decide such a momentous question without due deliberation, but we cannot see why the faculty should wait till the Overseers make their report.

...qualities in a player both in the field and at the bat. Nothing inspires a freshman team with a healthy confidence in themselves and a feeling of reliance on each other more than to win their first game, and this we sincerely hope will be done. Brilliant individual playing cannot hold out in the long run against steady team work, and it is to make every man understand thoroughly what team play means that games have been arranged. Every effort should be made to start out with a clear record of victories, in order that the result of the final...
...members from Eighty-eight and from Eighty-nine that the blame must rest if the Pierian keeps the down-bill path, it seems to be taking. Every man in the University will join us in urging that the welfare of this society be looked after by its members who cannot escape the responsibility by resigning now when the condition of things is bad owing to their own neglect, nor by staying away from rehearsals as they seem to have acquired the habit of doing. We have a right to demand in the name of the University that the Pierian Sodality...
