With its introduction there went out all the close hammering mass plays which were good for two or three yards on a down but no more. The American collegian, whether player or spectator, does not care for a game in which the element of chance is paramount. He likes to see or play a game where hard work counts, and a game where definite planning secures a well-appreciated result. For this reason he does not care...
...Anniversary Number of the Advocate is made up, with one exception, of contributions from graduate editors. The one exception is the article on "Old Numbers", which recalls an interesting bit of academic history.

In style, the "Collegian" was light and witty, and was for the first time the voice of current events and opinions about...
...March, 1866, three students started a new magazine under the old name of "The Collegian." This was the first journal in the form of a newspaper. Owing to a disrespectful allusion to the Faculty and an over regard for the motto of the paper "Dulce est Periculum," the career of "The Collegian" was brought to an abrupt end after the publication of three numbers. In May of the same year the first number of the "Advocate" appeared. It was founded by three Juniors of the class of '67, all of whom were former editors of the "Collegian." The motto...
