...college. The candidates for honors in this branch have not yet appeared; those who have come out being men who play rather for the pleasure of it than for any more ambitious aim. It is hoped that Ninety-One will furnish several good men. We can certainly not complain of our prospects in this branch of athletics, but we must not be so short-sighted as to expect that we can claim the prize without taking thought of the future. Some of our best players will go out with '88 and although '89 is a bulwark of strength we must...
...CRIMSON feels called upon again to complain of the men who are tardy at recitations. Some men always come in late. From five until fifteen minutes after the bell rings, they come in, creeping stealthily if it is a first offense, or tramping noisily if it is habitual.

EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- It may seem a trifle ridiculous to complain of the way in which the examination rooms are vapor-heated during this cold weather, but I desire to call attention to this necessity. While the cold weather lasts it is imperatively necessary that everything should be done to make the upper examination rooms in Sever comfortable. Last Friday some of the rooms were absolutely unbearable. Ordinarily a man can go out from a recitation if the room is too cold, but one cannot do that in an examination. One is compelled to sit and shiver, not able...
