...made in chapel by the president or some other officer of the government. Is not some such a device possible here? If this does not seem the best way, the faculty could print official notices in the college papers, which would have the same effect. The meagre information we gain from the bulletin board is often very unsatisfactory. There is no doubt that the student would more readily acquiese in the decisions of the powers if he were treated like a reasonable being and given the causes that brought about these results.

...which was much closer than the one with Yale, showed that foot-ball could be played with the proper spirit and enthusiasm without leading to any of the excesses that always characterize a "Yale" game.
