Abstraction of personal property, i. e. stealing, is the latest and ever recurring complaint. Hats, umbrellas and books, all disappear in a most sudden and mysterious manner. Those who take other people's property, whether from absent-mindedness or not, seem to have no regard for time or place. Memorial Hall and the gymnasium suffer alike. But to speak seriously, things are in a bad condition when a man cannot leave his hat on a hook in the gymnasium and find it again after exercising. Affairs are just the same at Memorial.

Has it not yet been made plain to eighty-eight that the old-time practice of "ragging" signs and posters has fallen into disrepute...
...most powerful, if not the most powerful agent, in forming and strengthening athletic interests at Yale. In class feelings, class distinctions, class rivalries, lies, we believe, the true source of our success. If we introduce the elective system, class lines, nay, we may say, the classes themselves must soon disappear. If we destroy class lines we destroy class feeling, if we destroy class feeling we destroy class athletics, and these are the chief support of the university athletic interests...
