What appears more disgraceful than the defeat is the "muckerish" way in which certain undergraduates attempted to win the game by yelling. Yesterday we had occasion to call attention to the evil which was creeping into the class games. Now, in an intercollegiate contest, Harvard has been reduced to the level which has always been the object of scorn and contempt heretofore, and deserves to remain so. It is much to be regretted that, besides those who supported the nine, there were men on the team itself, whose conduct eminently ill-fitted the occasion. The fresh man nine...
...preference over intended college men. This complaint is such an old one, that we are ashamed to be obliged to renew it, but it is so well grounded that we feel sure it will some day be listened to and remedied. Of course the root of the whole evil is the great need of more dormitories...

There can be no doubt that the abolition of compulsory chapel has been the cause of much of the late coming to nine o'clock recitations. If the privilege of late attendance is certainly great and one, which if in its exercise it affected the late-comers only, would be a personal affair, admitting of no public discussion. But where the privilege of a few becomes the disturbance of many, the instructor as well...
