...joint debate last night was in every way a great success and we +++tutate the management of both clubs upon the result. The two questions discussed were among leading subjects of the hour and they claim today the attention of every man who is interested in the government of his country. The points of each side were clearly and concisely put and the speakers were good representatives of both clubs. College students as a whole do not take much interest in the government of their country and even those who vote often vote the ticket inherited, like many other things...
...spontaneous expression of feeling which at other times it was so easy to give, still after a class has finished its course and done all its work it is easier to take a more comprehensive glance at the class as a whole, and discern its true excellencies. The claim of a class to distinction is generally measured nowadays by its success or failure in athletics. Although Ninety-two athletes have not shone especially brilliantly on university teams, they still have a record in athletics of which no class could be ashamed, and ever since its freshman year the class...
...except perhaps for changing the hour of the sale from seven to nine, the management has run its own course. It still persists in making a large part of the college waste a great deal of time standing in line, in giving the members of the college no better claim than the general public, and in leaving the limit of tickets unrestricted, or restricted only by the temporary whim of the management. We cannot but fear that the plan of leaving the limit of tickets undecided will lead to not a little hard feeling, and the criticism, just or unjust...
...custom which should prevail as if by instinct in every branch of Harvard athletics. In the past, there has been lurking an unfortunate tendency to look upon opposing teams as enemies, who should be downed by any fair means, and whose good points had absolutely no claim for recognition from Harvard men. Anyone with an instant's reflection will see what a misconceived, unsportsmanlike line of action this is. There is a generous, manly enough element in college to treat the visiting teams with courtesy, and make them feel as if they had come not among mortal enemies, but among...
GENTLEMEN: - The claim has been frequently made in public and private during the last few years, that the number of students in the college proper of Yale who reside in New York City, is largely in excess of those at Harvard. As this did not tally with my judgment and experience, especially since 1875, I took pains recently to secure from the college authorities an official count (which I append) of the respective numbers of New York City men in the two colleges at the beginning and middle of each decade, from 1860 to 1890, which I think will...
