Today, thanks to the persistent enforcement of prohibitory measures by the faculty, and to the co-operation of the two halls and an intelligent, unbiased public opinion-without which the action of the faculty would have been ineffectual-organized chapters of the Greek Letter fraternities are, so far at least as we know, wholly extinct. Well may we congratulate ourselves that Princeton is free from the demoralizing influence of the division and discord which Greek Letter fraternities are certain to create. [Princetonian...
...general oxordium to the recently published Inter-Collegiate Athletic Regulations omitted from the telegraphic report is as follows: "The object of physical training is to confirm health, correct morbid tendencies, strengthen weak parts, give a symmetrical muscular development, and secure as far as possible a condition of perfect physical vigor.

Less than half a mile farther up a hilly...
...cannot be said that the action of the Princeton faculty in the present athletic movement as thus far reported is very encouraging so far as Harvard is concerned. As it stands at present Yale has totally withdrawn from the business, Princeton is very doubtful, and is reported as probably opposed to the resolutions. As it seems to stand at present Harvard is expected to ally herself with some few of the smaller and less important colleges alone in accepting the new regulations. We do not know what grounds of hope the Harvard authorities have for hoping that the case will...
