But it must be remembered that this is entirely owing to the courtesy of the Yale team, who have, in order to have a game with us, voluntarily agreed to conform to the arbitrary rulings of our faculty committee.

It may be that the fact is significant and that here may be found a cogent argument either...
...recently issued "Regulations and Announcements" of the society. A pamphlet has been issued containing detailed directions to members for their dealings with the society and with the affiliated tradesmen. The constitution and laws of the society follow.
