...decisively, we hope - for the action of the class was scarcely more than a mere evasion of the real question. It is well to bear in mind that the old adage of a "stitch in time saves nine" is as true as ever it was, and the feeling of distrust which is prevalent at Yale, if not done away with at once, will be a disagreeable factor in all our athletic relations with that college for the future.

You cannot rely upon the natural expression of your feelings when you come to deliver a speech or read a poem. You must know what that natural expression of your...
