...discussion with the Princetonian. relative to a foot ball game, while unsuccessful in itself, had, we hope, the effect of clearing away whatever discord may have existed between the students of the two universities. We have confessed our inability to discover any sufficient reason for the rejection of Mr. Bancroft as a coach for the University crew. The senior class has not yet decided the "cap and gown" question, and whether the boat race shall be at New London this year has not been determined yet.

Some student conceives the gay notion of beating time on the table with his beer mug. The happy idea is infectious; and a thousand mugs thump ponderously upon the deal boards. Then all begin to stamp in unison and smite the tables with their canes. Even this ear-splitting uproar...
