...victory today over Cornell. As this in any case cannot be considered one of the most important games, there will probably be little inclination for much celebrating. The reason why we urge this will probably be plain to every one. Yesterday a committee of students had a conference with certain members of the Faculty, and the students presented a petition concerning the method of celebrating a victory. As yet no action has been taken, and everything is hanging in the balance. A little exhibition of a wrong spirit tonight, or the firing of any explosives whatsoever, may undo...
...action, which the CRIMSON has taken in denying to the correspondents of certain Boston newspapers the privileges of its office, is not taken because the sensational stories, appearing in several papers yesterday morning, were the work of these men. We are glad to deny any such rumor that may have been spread through the University.

Because it is our duty to treat the unknown world as if it were divine and moral, we practically know for certain that it is divine and moral. The inner need of believing that the world of nature is a sign of something more spiritual and eternal than itself is just as strong and authoritative in those who feel it as the inner need of uniform laws of causation ever...
...team into the field of whom Harvard has every reason to feel proud. The Mott Haven team is probably the strongest single track team that any college can offer this year. How it will acquit itself in a general competition with many institutions, is more doubtful, but we feel certain from the work of the athletes so far that every single man may be counted upon to do his level best, and this is the spirit that wins. Let us give them a hearty send-off when they leave the Square tomorrow afternoon...
