...three works are recognized as necessary: the Bible Shakespeare, and the Telephone Book. Dormitory rooms may usually make one substitution in this list: the alternative is the University Register Year, after year it is compiled, published, serves its use in the students daily life, and is thrown into the discard to make way for a new edition. Not a work of permanence in itself, none the less its annual appearance makes it an institution, and it represents a permanent need...
...Palmer Stadium. Today the "rejuvenated. Tiger", as the newspapers call the Princeton team, takes the field. It appears as the "mystery team" of the East. It is coming--not like so-called "mystery teams" of the past, to show a few tricks, and be shuffled off into the discard--it is coming to repeat the tricks which have worked before. "Come seven" has often meant "touchdown" to Princeton. For three years the signal has worked. No man now playing on the University squad has participated in a victory over Princeton.

On the contrary it has apparently sought to improve what has been poor in former volumes. For instance, nearly all the group pictures have been made larger, with the result that even in the class group...
Books are rapidly being thrown into the discard as the final examinations draw to a close. It is now that the weary student sells them to the second hand dealer for a mere trifie--by the pound, it would seem--and invests the proceeds in something far more refreshing. In the ecstasy of finishing his last blue book, he looses his sense of values and treats his books like old clothes...
