...question is when is this state of things coming to an end? Manifestly not when two individuals who have been committing systematic robbery, are allowed to go free after paying a fine of fifteen dollars.

There was absolutely no excuse for the personal ridicule some of the seniors saw fit to bring on the men in the Freshman team. The sallies undoubtedly seemed funny to the eighty-eight men, but they sounded both flat and low to every one else. Both the members of the Ninety-one nine and all the freshmen who witnessed the game deserve commendation...
