There is a complaint in the last Williams Fortnight that there is at present a state of literary stagnation in the college...
...have settled down to work with all the determination of a typical Yale eleven. In truth, we have heard the last of the accusation, "lack of sand," which has been so thoughtlessly hurled at the members of the ninety foot-ball team. There is now no more need of complaint. Let the New Haven men beware, for "We're going to beat Yale." Now a word to the News.

At least the freshmen should feel bound to make as good a showing at New Haven as the Yale men did here. The fare has been reduced...
