...panes. Such childishness is not to be tolerated at Harvard; and childishness is a mild term for such ungentlemanly conduct. We are glad to say that student opinion condemns all nonsense of this kind, and we trust that in future celebrations, no amount of excitement will make Harvard students forget the respect due to instructors and their own positions as gentlemen...
...loss of our first championship game to Princeton is not so great a catastrophe as many in the college would make us believe. To be sure the unexampled record of last year was a goal which we longed that the nine might again reach, but let us not forget that the winning of the championship is our real purpose, and the chances for this are very good. To be disheartened now would be suicidal; therefore the college should take a still more active interest in the success of its most popular team; and during the coming week, when so many...

To-day there is no general sentiment either within or without the college which justifies a compulsory attendance at chapel. Religion has become utterly disassociated from any idea of compulsion. Prayer is held to be a matter between a man and his God, not between...
