Were it uniformly the fault of the players that occasioned such waves of enjoyment, there would be little cause for complaint, for some sad specimens of acting are only too frequently inflicted upon us. But the jocularity is not confined to "ham" actors, struggling stock companies, or situations so forced as to be suitable for sarcasm, for the most luminous of our stage stars and the efforts of our playwright most applauded elsewhere, have here repeatedly met with a sportive reception...
Perhaps it is not all your fault. Suppose that in your Senior year you found that you could obtain an excellent position if you mastered a certain subject, say history. You would try to concentrate upon it, to give evening after evening and day after day to the subject. But how far would you get if you were an average student? Monday night you would have a meeting; you might have another Thursday. Friday night you would be expected to attend an organization dance and Saturday night you would be called upon to support the debating team. You might throw...
...fact that this short spring practice has been a part of the University policy since the Haughton system was first adopted dispels any apprehension that we are failing to prepare sufficiently for the coming season. We can scarcely find fault with any part of a system which has proved so successful. The system, however, can reach its greatest effectiveness only when coach and players alike take their full share. Continued success next fall demands that when the season opens today, a squad even larger than in past years should report...

In both the two-mile and one-mile University relay races, the half-lap leads which the opposing teams had at the finish were due to one runner on each team, who lost distance through inability to take the corners properly. This fault was corrected, and was not in evidence in any of the later relay races. Furthermore, the Yale team this year is one of the fastest, if not the fastest, which has ever worn the Blue. In a race against Cornell at the N. Y. A. C. on March...
...student acquires a working knowledge of the context and is led to ruminate upon its meaning. The average undergraduate, however, sits stupidly through his lectures, mechanically jots a few incoherent notes, and goes away without a thought as to what has just been said. It is not altogether his fault; some lectures are extremely monotonous and uninteresting. In vain do professors encourage outside discussion among students, or announce voluntary consultation hours. The modern youth comes to college to learn--but not to study...
