...annual meeting for the award of distinctions, held last evening in Sanders Theatre, was a great success, largely due to the speech by President Hadley of Yale University on "The Obligations of the Prize Winner." Deturs were awarded to about twenty scholars of the first group who had never before received this form of academic recognition, and the names of the principal prize winners and scholars of the past year were read...
...that when this custom was inaugurated it was reasoned that the members of a second team, more particularly in baseball perhaps than in football, have practically no chance of earning the "H" which almost every man on the first squad under certain conditions might receive.

If there was more attention to college duties on those two Saturdays than in the previous years and less distraction due to the intercollegiate contests, we have taken a step in advance. If a brief statement of the Student Council, setting forth the situation in concrete form, is instrumental in reducing the number of absences it has justified its position by just so much, both to the students and to the governing boards. Even in this regard, what does it matter in the long run whether or not this...
