Yale and Princeton meet in New York tonight for their game in the Intercollegiate Hockey League and past performances seem to favor the New Jersey team. During the Christmas recess, a series of three games was played and Yale was able to win only the third. Both teams have defeated Cornell, but Yale was forced to an overtime period to score its victory. While the Yale defence is strong, it is doubtful if it will be successful in its attempts to stop Baker...
...seems to us that a presentation of the facts is sufficient argument in favor of this proposed change. Any graduation exercises which require two-thirds of the graduating class to inform their parents that they cannot witness the final exercises defeat the very object for which most parents come to Cambridge at the end of the academic year; namely, to see their sons honorably discharged and the diploma received.

To those who have heard "The Bell Buoy," "The Critic," or "John Anderson" (not to mention the frequent requests as to the proper adjustment of ventilation, repression of noises, etc.), Professor Copeland needs no introduction.

We can conceive of no more profitable way of spending this evening than listening to Professor Copeland...
...still be many railroad companies. The danger of unprogressive management throughout the railroad industry is, therefore, slight. But in industry, the danger of unintelligent and ineffective management, the besetting weakness of a long continued monopoly, is too great to allow one, except as a last resort, to look with favor upon the establishment of a system of state regulation through an industrial commission. While it would probably prove effective as a means of preventing extortionate charges by monopolies, it might also create conditions favorable to the continuance of monopolies regardless of the efficiency of their management...
