...them, instead of New London, where their presence would be merely tolerated rather than welcomed. A flat refusal to superintend the proposed race on any conditions whatever was only prevented by a desire to avoid an appearance of incivility in the face of a public which could not be expected to understand the difficulties of the case. Perhaps the last straw which turned the balance was the dislike of the managers to say "No" when one of the applicants from Harvard was "a New London boy;" but they clearly kept in mind the theory that this first Freshman race...
...this state of things to continue? We do not wish to be considered discourteous to the other sex, but when they assume the rights of men, they must expect to be treated like men. Harvard College was established for the education of men, as its charter implicitly if not explicitly declares, and unless it is openly announced as a co-educational institution, all women thus encroaching upon College rooms and College privileges are interlopers. If the Harvard Annex is merely another expression for co-education, as the course they have taken seems to prove, let us have no Annex whatever...
...that the instructor cannot give as much time to each one as is essential to intelligent progress; and in view of this fact, some step should be taken to make the course equally profitable to all who have elected it for the purpose of getting the best results.

...privilege of voluntary recitations whenever he deems fit. This appears to us to be taxing one person with more responsibility than human nature is capable of bearing; especially when we remember that formerly punishments were carefully assigned for each class of neglect. Then a student knew just what to expect for any breach of observance of College discipline, but now he is left in suspense. We are reminded, too, that in the world outside, the common experience of many generations has shunned giving absolute power to officers of the law, for fear of abuse or error, so that a judge...
...touch-downs, but they were not allowed by the referee. A heavy fall of rain somewhat marred the playing of Harvard, who relied upon their constant passing. The playing of Britannia was fine as regards tackling, but in all other respects was much poorer than what we must expect from Yale and Princeton. Harvard's passing was good, the tackling and kicking fair. Among the visitors, Belcher, Millar, and Lowe played well. On our own team the playing of Edmonds, Keith, Kent, Perin, Manning, and Atkinson was particularly good. Although this victory is encouraging for the team, it should...
