...plain enough that the class as a whole has cause to be thoroughly ashamed of itself. From all accounts, moreover, some individual men on the club have equal cause for censure. We have no criticism to make on the leader of the club; the ones whom we wish the college to know of are those who compose the management which has tried to run the club on the principle not of the best singer but the jolliest fellow; the management which has conducted itself disgracefully at out of town concerts; the management which had charge of the present concert...
...asured that our freshman nine will work its hardest for victory this afternoon. If the college supports the team with an equal earnestness, there should be no doubt of the result. What the freshmen need to make them win is an enthusiastic crowd of men and plenty of cheering. These are by far the two most important factors, yet it sometimes seems hard for the college to realize this condition of affairs.

The strict enforcement of the rule, however, has been left to the discretion of the janitor, so that when there is no great rush a man may have...
...course. In this connection it is interesting to note the arguments of which the overseers cheerfully avail themselves in putting aside for the present any further conslderation of the change. The committee whose report was adopted, say: "We think it fair to treat this as a case of nearly equal division of opinion of the teaching body of the college; and for that reason, if for no other, your committee think it would be unwise for the Corporation and Overseers to approve so important and far-reaching a change as the reduction of the baccalaureate degree in the face...
