...only comment that the CRIMSON can make is that the Yale News is very modest not to claim first place in the hurdles for Yale. With Suddington and Berger as her representatives it would seem as if there could be no doubt about the winner. Although Mr. Stevens of Columbia won first place in New York last year with a vault of 10 feet 3-4 inches, he did not do well in the games this winter. Yale and Harvard have both men who have broken the record made by Mr. Stevens and it would seem that he would have...
...Phallos, with the aid of the "Halteeres" leaped a distance of 55 feet. "Halteeres" were something similar, to our dumb bells, which the Greeks held in their hands while leaping. They put their hands back, and, swinging them forward with a sudden motion, took the leap. There is no doubt thert use enabled them to jump further than they could have done without them. This has been proved by experience, 29 feet 7 inches having been covered in 1854 by an athlete with weights in his hands, whereas the "record" for the long jump at the annual Inter-University sports...
...lack of promptness in the attendance at lectures - and especially nine o'clock lectures - has become an evil which can no longer be overlooked.

Utilitarian morals and intuitive methods supersede abstract ethics and deductive principles when the thinker is thrown into the whirl of a great city. There is much talk now-a-days about making university studies practical and no doubt there is much wisdom in the attempt, but bookishness has its uses and if it is not to be fostered in the colleges, it will not be fostered anywhere, and will disappear forever. That would be an evil. Four years of isolation at college is not to be desired...
...Diavolo" that, having been crossed in love, ruined, and otherwise maltreated, had taken to piracy to retrieve their broken fortunes; that their captain, Stubbs, having insisted on taking a ship with ladies on board, they had put him in irons, and now fresh from a ship-wreck were in doubt what to do. A solo, rendered by Weaver as Stubbs, and a chorus tune, "The Bowery Grenadiers" deserve notice. The stage business was excellent. Exeunt omnes. A solo by Dorothy Dosear's "Chanson du Colonel" came next. Then John Harvard enters. Duet, "Blacks Mantles" in which he is rejected follows...
