...would seem to be a matter for faculty decision, but we presume that the board of trustees has a complete jurisdiction in the matter and can force action on the part of the faculty. Princeton's attitude is naturally of the most interest to Harvard since her action cannot fail to influence student opinion here in the matter...
...amongst themselves as the other athletic captains are. This would relieve them of the idea that they were going through a college exercise, while the general superintendence would keep them up to the mark and prevent shirking. This plan, with three hours of regular work each week, would not fail to turn out a much stronger and better developed set of men at the end of every year.

As Exeter is largely a so-called Harvard school, this important change in the pronounciation of the language cannot fail to increase its advantages as a fitting place for Harvard and to bind it still more closely to our college...
