...safe and proper restriction on athletic sports is to be found in the requirements of the classroom. At Yale we get along well with our young men by allowing them to guide their own affairs, only insisting that they attend regularly to their college work, be obedient to authority, and keep good order. We are so well pleased with the arrangement and the resulting good feeling between instructors and pupils, that we do not propose to disturb our own peace or annoy our students by hasty and uncalled-for legislation, even if by our refusal to adopt such legislation...

Many will remember his question as to what was done with the persons who were...

The anniversary of Martin Luther's birthday which occurs today, brought out a suggestion that Prof. Emerton, who is now delivering a course of lectures in Boston, on Luther should be invited to deliver a lecture on that subject before the students of the university. In yesterday's issue we printed an abstract of a lecture by Pres. Porter of Yale which illustrates what we wish. There are dozens of topics...
