...first element in Yale life is a certain large minded and fair minded love of truth. Lux et veritas is our motto. But in the search after truth there are two tendencies. The seeker for fight, who finds a form of thinking handed down by the fathers, may accept it because of its very antiquity. Progress is the law of the world, let me be free from prejudices of old ideas. These tendencies are inharmonious. But the fair and large-minded man lies between these two. The man who follows that is a creature of hope and remembrance. He does...
...hospitability for new ideas has characterized the Yale men of the past, and I commend the Yale spirit to you in this regard. Yield yourself to this influence of the University. Be earnest, honest and fair-minded students. Manliness and the manly sense of duty is allied to this. It is the second element of the Yale student. The rules of the university life are justified largely on this ground; they are the expression of manly living.

...known abilities, lead directly to the conclusion that Yale is short of good base-ball material. Compared with the college standard, there are only two first-class all round players - Stagg, '88, pitcher, and Cross, T.S., third base.

Yet it seems hardly fair to keep out Yale freshmen from such a contest, there being no reason for it. But Columbia left the matter with us to decide and so something had to be done. Now the Yale freshmen have what they wished, - a chance to row us, - and undoubtedly Columbia will be willing...
EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON: Permit me to correct a slight misunderstanding of my communication of Friday. Your correspondent of Saturday, while eminently fair in his comments; seems to think that I base my objections to the Thames course as a course for three boats. Upon Yale's experience of last year I intended merely to cite this as an example of what at any time might be repeated. The ground for my belief in the unsuitability of the Thames course for three boats, is the statement to that effect that I heard last year from many skilled oarsmen. The CRIMSON acknowledges...
