...question of such moment to the college as the "state of the yard," we feel that when each spring reminds us of a growing practice among the students detrimental to the appearance of the yard, some attention ought to be called to the matter. We refer to the custom of walking across the grass. Whenever there is a large plot of grass it is almost certain to be marred by a long winding path, which remains year after year, despite the efforts of the college constabulary to obliterate it. Fertilizers and non-fertilizers have been tried in vain. There...
...CRIMSON congratulates itself upon having initiated a custom which bids fair to become permanent. Last year the "amateur championship" in base-ball was instituted, and for the first time in the history of the college definite regulations were drawn up to govern the contest.

And in the second place, if differences of usage on the mere name of an athletic organization can possibly be compared with inaccurate, ridiculous and often even irritating reports about individual students comprising that and many other organizations, then we will doubly humiliate ourselves...
...Hasty Pudding Club, following the custom of former years, devoted a portion of the vacation week to a trip to New York, where two performances of the theatricals were given for the benefit of the University Boat Club. Those who were to take part in the play met in the Albany Station on Sunday afternoon, and took possession of a special parlor car attached to the 4.30 New York express. The journey was made comfortably and without any marked incidents. On the arrival of the party at New York coaches were taken for the Fifth Avenue Hotel, where the club...
