Suspense is over at last! The results of the petition have taken a definite form and intercollegiate winter sports are no longer in danger of annihilation. The Committee has expressed itself as convinced that "it is not desirable" to abolish these contests, but gives no definite statement of its policy in the future, preferring to deal with individual schedules rather than with any period as a whole. It accepts the student co-operation most willingly, and will doubtless give the new council every opportunity to prove its worth as a factor in the situation. What promises to be a satisfactory...
...CRIMSON is really representative. Unless it be that it can naturally carry little weight. To make it that is the business of the board, which ought to regulate its method of securing editors with this in view.

If you employ both arms in that game you will be in danger of stooping; in danger of losing your soul. But in spite of every thing you may succeed, you may be successful, you may acquire enormous wealth. In which case I warn you that you stand in grave danger of being spoken and written of and pointed out as a smart...
