...relations simply argues a want of insight into the causes of these relations. There now exist many societies which, we venture to say, cover almost every need of Harvard social life as it is now constituted. In founding a university club an attempt is made to add a new element to the social life, the element more strictly democratic. It is not strange that a very great proportion of the letters which we have received have been written by non-society men, men who feel that in the proposed plan lies the germ of the destruction of Harvard's social...
...first element in Yale life is a certain large minded and fair minded love of truth. Lux et veritas is our motto. But in the search after truth there are two tendencies. The seeker for fight, who finds a form of thinking handed down by the fathers, may accept it because of its very antiquity. Progress is the law of the world, let me be free from prejudices of old ideas. These tendencies are inharmonious. But the fair and large-minded man lies between these two.

...characterized the Yale men of the past, and I commend the Yale spirit to you in this regard. Yield yourself to this influence of the University. Be earnest, honest and fair-minded students.

Kellogg has the making of an excellent outfielder, but could never stand the pounding Stagg would give him; Osborn has the making of a good catcher, is fearless, quick motioned, and fully able to hold Stagg. He would be out of his element in the left field, but would make a good first baseman, which position he creditably filled for the grammar school nine. Both Kellogg and Osborn are unreliable batters and will need plenty of practice. The full list of candidates is: Catchers - Dann, '88S.; Osborn, '88 S.; Kellogg, '87 S.; Durant...
...lines are disjointed and unmelodious, while the idea contained in them is so trivial and insignificant that only the most masterly treatment could have made it justifiable. Mr. Sempers and Mr. Wister contribute very readable articles. Of the two, Mr. Sempers' will appeal to the more purely literary element of the college, while Mr. Wister, by his rather colloquial style and less abstruse subject, will have more readers, though perhaps less appreciative ones. Mr. Bruce strikes a new note and gives us a study of low life, which is not very satisfactory. It lacks smoothness and force...
