...discussion was "Resolved, That the French Government was justified in passing the Separation Act." The debate was decided in favor of the negative team, and the Pasteur Medal was awarded to D. Haar 1Sp. of that team by unanimous decision of the judges. Haar's delivery was without doubt the best controlled and at the same time the most forcible of the evening, though in logical exposition and statement he was closely rivalled by P. L. Butler '08, and by A. C. Lurie '09, whose humorous rebuttal was one of the features of the evening...
...Dodge 08, captain of the University track team, should score without doubt in the sprints next spring. Last year he won the 220-yard dash in the dual meet with Yale, took first place the year before, third in the intercollegiate meet the two preceding years, and second in the 100-yard dash in the dual meet last year. The loss of P. C. Lockwood '07, who won the 100-yard dash in the dual meet and was the only man to get a place in the sprints in the intercollegiate games last spring, will be felt severely, as there...
...understand that there is still some doubt as to the advisability of publishing the black-list of persons whose Yale game tickets were found in the hands of speculators.

The odium of speculation would be attached to unfortunates whose names had been forged or whose friends had lost their tickets. It is obvious, also, that the presence on the list of the names of well-known graduates, whose reputation would convince everyone of their innocence, would...
...coaches this year has been to develop and coach ends, and for that purpose the services of D. C. Campbell '02 and F. D. Cochrane '99, former University ends, have been secured during the past two weeks to assist the regular coaches. The choice of ends was in doubt up to the last week. Starr has been playing end in practice recently and is undoubtedly the best tackler out for the position. Macdonald is a valuable man on account of his experience, and Browne has shown great improvement recently. Bird promised well at the beginning of the season...
Every year speculators reap a rich harvest from the sale of Yale game tickets--and no doubt they feel justified in earning their livelihood by this means. But the professional speculator is not on the last of those entitled to receive tickets, and we must conclude that a few graduates or undergraduates have sought to make their connection with the University a source of dishonorable profit. The temptation is no doubt greater for some than for others, but need of the proceeds does not justify this sort of ticket speculation...
