...game at New Haven on Saturday revived the old stories of Yale yelling which have done so much to make that college's reputation an unenviable one in matters of sport. The treatment received by the Harvard men was, however, far more courteous than usual. Tin horns, once the essence of Yale cheering, were almost wanting, and when a man got his base on three strikes, one could address a friend a couple of yards away and still be heard distinctly. We suppose that this slight noise was an outburst of patriotism which could not be surpressed, but needed...
...recently illustrated by the very events which indirectly led to the complication of a court trial, and the student whose testimony figured somewhat in the late trial was exempt from criticism by those who are usually disposed to shield wrong doing at all hazards, only because of his uniformly courteous bearing towards his fellow students, the high respect which his general course in college has gained for him, and because his testimony was not volunteered, but was given in the course of ordinary conversation at the table of one of the professors, to whom he is related and with whom...

There is something melancholy yet comic in this endeavor to exclude from direct competition such a college as Columbia, for instance, whose agile nine are the present...
...with deep regret that we feel obliged to call attention once more to the selfishness of certain undergraduates in refusing to give up their rooms to seniors on class-day. Several cases have recently been brought to our notice where the courteous requests of seniors for the use of rooms have been flatly refused. We can find no excuse for such actions on the part of these students. In order to entertain the host of their friends on class-day and to make their guests regard class-day as a pleasure, not as a weary trial, seniors must have...
