...biggest news of the year, to some, was the resumption of athletic relations with Princeton, except for football--after a lapse of four and a half years. And in late February, a Boston morning paper ran a story claiming that President Lowell was planning to resign--a story branded as "unsubstantiated" but before long proved correct...
...students in the same corral. Instead of "a wood near Athens," Reeve's Dream is set on a Texas ranch in the 1880s, and the guitar-twanging players appear in Stetsons, bandannas and bustles (Hippolyta is an Indian princess in white buckskin).

But it conceded that if the railroads are to continue in the passenger...

No one ached to burn crosses in front of Memorial Church, no one wanted to throw eggs at visiting speakers. In fact, the most opportune moment to throw things--a sympathy snowball riot for Yale--was passed up with a collective condescending smile. The Student Council was well-behaved and even productive, while the Lampoon--minus Fool's Week--turned its energies to physical endeavor with the CRIMSON. No one even tried to steal the Ibis...
