Much as Harvard has differed from Princeton on the fundamental principles which should govern college organizations, and although we adhere as firmly as ever to the doctrines of President Eliot, still it is impossible not to feel that the retirement of Doctor McCosh from the Presidency of Princeton College is a loss to that institution. His loyalty and devotion have done much to maintain the honor of Princeton while his energies have placed her in the front rank of American colleges. She will not find easily so staunch a friend to accept the post which this resignation has made empty...
...forward in response to the Glee Club's appeal for a whistler. Surely out of twelve hundred students, there should be more than two who consider themselves capable of filling the position.

We must have more positive qualities if we are to win foot ball matches, base ball games, and races at New London. Let every man of brains and energy feel it his duty to oppose in every possible way this growing lethargy and indifference and, worse than all, snobbishness. What is a man does assert himself too forcibly or is a trifle "fresh?" It is not a vital fault. Why suppress him? It is not always the blase...
